Information Security Policy Writing

One of the biggest – if not the biggest – challenges faced by organizations undertaking SOC 2 compliance is documentation. More specifically, an almost laundry list of information security policies and procedures need to be developed for SOC 2 compliance. Think access control, change management, data backup, incident response, and more – essential documentation that the SOC 2 compliance consultants at NDNB can assist with.  We offer our clients well-written, easy-to-use InfoSec policy templates – if you choose to author your own information security policies. It’s just another reason to consider NDNB for all of your SOC 2 auditing needs.

Technical Control Remediation

While authoring information security policies and procedures is the often the most common remediation activity, don’t lose sight of possible technical control remediation activities. For example, perhaps your password complexity rules need to be strengthened, your firewall rules need to be re-written, or your servers need to be re-hardened according to best practices.

Whatever the technical control remediation activities are, NDNB can assist as we have years of experience helping service organizations all throughout North America with SOC 2 auditing needs. If you’re seeking a quality SOC 2 compliance consultant, then contact us today to learn more.
