SOC 2 reporting for Colorado businesses in Denver, Fort Collins, Boulder, and other surrounding areas, is offered by NDNB, one of North America’s leading providers of SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 compliance solutions. SOC 2 reporting, which is part of the AICPA System and Organization Controls (SOC) framework, incorporates the use of what’s known as the Trust Services Principles & Criteria (TSP), which essentially consists of “criteria” based provisions. Simply stated, it’s a comprehensive audit performed on many technology companies regarding their internal control structure.

Gone is the one-sized fit’s all approach, which used the historical SAS 70 auditing standard, effectively replaced by a scalable, much improved framework consisting of three (3) SOC reporting options. As for SOC 2, it’s been heavily adopted by many technology oriented services organizations (i.e., data centers, SaaS entities, managed services providers, etc.), and for good reason, as the SOC 2 platform itself is geared toward such businesses.

SOC 2 Reporting Updates & Enhancements to Know for Colorado Businesses

Recent updates and modifications to SOC 2 reporting include revisions to the Trust Services Principles (TSP). More specifically, the new TSP framework is to be utilized, which consists of the following 7 general areas:

1) Organization and management
2) Communications
3) Risk management and implementation of controls
4) Monitoring of controls
5) Logical and physical access controls
6) System operations, and
7) Change management

Why Policies and Procedures are Critical for SOC 2 Compliance

What’s important to note is that SOC 2 reporting for the above mentioned general areas within the Trust Services Principles (TSP) require a large number of information security and operational policies and procedures to be in place. This is essential to note because most service organizations lack such documentation, yet NDNB offers a complimentary SOC 2 Policy Packet for helping ensure all mandated policies and procedures are actually developed as needed.

Perhaps your organization does have information security policies and procedures in place – that’s great – but ask yourself these important questions:

1. when is the last time the documents have been reviewed, assessed, and updated?
2. Have all employees been given copies of the policies and procedures, read them and truly acknowledged them?
3. Do your current information security policies and procedures map to the prescribed Common Criteria within the Trust Services Principles (TSP) for your SOC 2 audit?

The amount of time it takes to enhance existing policies is often a more tedious task than developing a completely new set of documents. It’s why businesses turn to NDNB, so call Christopher Nickell, CPA, at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706, or email him at This email address is being protected from spambots.
