SSAE18
SSAE 18 is the industry’s most comprehensive assurance standard. Let us help you get your organization up to a SSAE 18 certification.
SSAE 18, Service Organizations (often referred to as SSAE 18 or SOC; and previously known as SSAE 16 or SAS 70) contain the rules for conducting an attestation of a service organization’s internal controls. It is intended to provide third parties with reasonable assurance that a service organization’s internal control technical systems are operating effectively.
SOC 1 is an international standard that assesses a service organization’s IT processes in relation to their role in financial reporting at the customer organization. This assessment, along with the appropriate reviews, is key to understanding the organization’s IT risks and opportunities.
SOC 2 assessment is a way for organizations to gauge the effectiveness of their security and compliance controls. SOC 2 is often used as a baseline for other compliance standards such as the Sarbanes Oxley Act, and it certifies the reliability of an organization’s IT infrastructure and its ability to protect information.
SOC3 is a standardized reporting framework that provides high-level information about an organization’s IT security controls. SOC3 allows organizations to demonstrate compliance with the Trust Services Organization Council’s published Standards, and also helps assessors understand the key risks at each level of Trust Services.
