SOC 1 vs. SOC 2 – Here’s What Colorado Businesses Need to Know

The SOC 1 vs. SOC 2 debate is still going strong, thus it’s important that Colorado businesses understand the similarities – and differences – between the two (2) AICPA System and Organization Control (SOC) reporting options. 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. Call centers, data centers, managed services providers – and many more – they’re all viable SOC 2 candidates for testing against the SOC 2 “common criteria” and relevant Trust Services Principles.
