Offering Comprehensive SOC 2 Services to Dallas, TX Businesses
1. SOC 2 Scoping & Readiness Assessments: What’s the very first step every Dallas, TX business should take when it comes to SOC 2 compliance – perform a scoping & readiness assessment – a highly beneficial and cost-effective initiative for ensuring your internal controls are comprehensively assessed prior to beginning an actual SOC 2 audit. You’ll want to learn more about critical scope issues, what gaps and deficiencies exist, what are the next steps for remediation – and more – and that’s exactly what you’ll receive from NDNB’s SOC 2 scoping & readiness assessment. Call and speak with CPA Christopher Nickell at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706, to learn more.
Keep something in mind – performing a SOC 2 scoping & readiness assessment is not “just” another added fee to your audit – not at all – it’s a highly useful and insightful initiative that yields meaningful results for helping you properly plan, assess, and execute the audit with a high degree of success. From a long-term perspective, it just makes sense, and it’s why we recommend Dallas, TX businesses – particularly those new to SOC 2 reporting – to perform this very critical upfront process prior to the audit. Saving time and money on costly compliance audits begins with proper planning and scoping, so keep this in mind also.
2. Technical and Operational Controls Remediation: While policies and procedures can be an incredibly time-consuming and laborious process in terms of remediation, the same can be said for the technical and operational remediation processes. Information systems often have be re-configured, correctly provisioned and/or enhanced for purposes of meeting mandated best practices for SOC 2 compliance. Thankfully, NDNB offers numerous technical hardening guides and helpful checklists that go a long way in helping meeting the rigors of SOC 2 compliance.
3. SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 Reports: When looking to perform a SOC 2 assessment, Dallas, TX businesses new to regulatory compliance often start off with a SOC 2 Type 1 assessment, them moving on to subsequent, annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit reports. Type 1 reports are for a specific day, such as June 30, 20xx and do NOT have a test period. As for SOC 2 Type 2 reports, they DO contain a test period for testing internal controls – generally six (6) months, and are thus considered a much more in-depth assessment than its SOC 2 Type 1 sibling.
4. Continuous Compliance Reporting Initiatives: In today’s world of growing regulatory compliance mandates being placed on businesses, it’s not enough to just perform an annual audit – sure, you can share the results with clients and prospects – but the true test of compliance comes in the form of “continuous monitoring”. What’s “continuous monitoring”; it’s the efforts you put forward in assessing, monitoring, evaluating, and changing – if necessary – your system of internal controls on a structured basis. In short, it’s your environment, so you need to monitor it effectively, and not somebody else. NDNB provides a wide range of forms and helpful checklists for performing critical monitoring initiatives, so call us today at 1-800-277-5415, ext. 706.
5. Assessing Subservice Organizations: Do you in turn outsource critical services to another company? If so, such organizations would be considered a “subservice organization” in terms of regulatory compliance as it relates to your business model. Luckily, many of these subservice organizations may in fact have their own compliance reports – SSAE 16 SOC 1 or SOC 2 audits – for which you can rely on for purposes of compliance. If they don’t in fact have such reports on hand, then expect to perform additional testing procedures to suffice for such areas.
