Why? Because you need to be able to identify, assess, understand, and implement necessary activities regarding audit timing, scoping, remediation and other relevant milestones. Simply stated, it’s about proper planning for the audit and being proactive in addressing all areas of one’s control environment before the actual audit commences.



Items to cover during a SOC 1 SSAE 18 scoping & readiness assessment include the following: What businesses processes are being assessed, at what locations, with what personnel being involved? Additionally, along the way, you’ll be learning quite a bit about your internal controls and what areas require remediation to be applied before the audit begins.

It’s about being prepared and understanding the entire audit process, an it’s why every business new to SOC 1 SSAE 18 compliance should perform a scoping & readiness assessment.

First, SOC 1 SSAE 18 is primarily an audit conducted on service organizations performing critical functions that could impact financial reporting for their clients – it’s a concept known as “ICFR” – Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

As for SOC 2, it’s quickly become the global default reporting assessment platform for almost any type of company within the broader information technology space.
