SOC 1 Type 2 — Complete Portfolio
The gold standard for financial service organizations. SOC 1 Type 2 proves your ICFR controls operated effectively over a 6–12 month period. Required by enterprise clients, Fortune 500 companies and banks. Starting at $2,500+.
Why SOC 1 Type 2 is the Gold Standard
A SOC 1 Type 2 report provides independent assurance that your internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) are not just well-designed — but operated effectively throughout a defined period (typically 6–12 months). This is the most comprehensive and trusted SOC 1 report available.
Where SOC 1 Type 1 asks "are the controls designed correctly?" — SOC 1 Type 2 asks "did the controls actually work, consistently, throughout the audit period?" This distinction is critical for enterprise clients, public company auditors, and financial institutions who need evidence of sustained control operation.
Key Differentiators vs. Type 1
- Tests control operation over 6–12 months (not a single date)
- Includes sample testing of control activities throughout the period
- Reports on operational effectiveness, not just design suitability
- Provides much stronger assurance to user entity auditors
- Required by most large enterprise clients and banks
