Our Comprehensive SOC Service Offerings:

We provide a full spectrum of SOC reports tailored to meet your specific needs and stakeholder requirements:

SOC 1 Examinations (SSAE 18 / ISAE 3402): These reports focus on internal controls over financial reporting. They are critical for service organizations whose controls may be relevant to user entities' financial statements.

Type 1 Report: Describes the service organization's system and the suitability of the design of its controls at a specific point in time.
Type 2 Report: Describes the service organization's system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of its controls over a specified period.

SOC 2 Examinations: These reports address controls relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy (Trust Services Criteria). They are essential for technology and cloud-based service organizations.

Type 1 Report: Focuses on the suitability of the design of controls at a specific point in time.
Type 2 Report: Details the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of controls over a specified period.

SOC 3 Reports: These are general-use reports based on SOC 2 examinations, providing a high-level summary of controls related to the Trust Services Criteria. They are ideal for public consumption, demonstrating an organization's commitment to security and data protection without revealing sensitive internal details.

SOC for Cybersecurity: This specialized report helps organizations communicate the effectiveness of their cybersecurity risk management program to stakeholders. It provides an independent assessment of an entity's ability to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

What Makes Our SOC Services Unique?

Our approach is distinguished by several key factors that deliver superior value:

Risk-Driven, Not Just Checklist-Driven: Unlike competitors who might follow a generic checklist, our methodology is inherently risk-driven. We begin by deeply understanding your business model, operational nuances, and the specific risks your organization faces. This allows us to tailor the scope and focus of the SOC examination to areas that truly matter, ensuring the report reflects your unique risk posture and control environment.

Holistic Pre-Assessment and Readiness Support: We don't just audit; we partner with you for success. Our comprehensive pre-assessment service identifies potential control gaps and weaknesses before the formal examination begins. This proactive approach minimizes surprises, streamlines the audit process, and significantly increases the likelihood of a favorable report. We provide actionable recommendations and hands-on guidance to help remediate identified issues, ensuring your readiness stands out.

Operational Empathy and Business Integration: We understand that compliance should enable, not hinder, business operations. Our consultants possess not just audit expertise but also a strong grasp of operational realities. We work collaboratively with your teams, embedding security and control considerations into your existing processes rather than imposing disruptive, standalone requirements. This leads to more sustainable controls and less operational friction.

Beyond the Report: Continuous Improvement Framework: For us, a SOC report is not the end goal, but a milestone in an ongoing journey of continuous improvement. We equip your organization with the tools and knowledge to maintain control effectiveness post-audit. Our post-engagement support includes recommendations for long-term control optimization, monitoring strategies, and preparation for future examinations, fostering a truly resilient and compliant environment.

Specialized Industry Acumen: Our team comprises experts with deep industry-specific experience. Whether you operate in FinTech, healthcare, cloud services, or e-commerce, we understand the particular regulatory landscapes, technological challenges, and stakeholder expectations unique to your sector. This specialized acumen translates into more relevant findings, practical recommendations, and ultimately, a more credible and valuable SOC report.

By choosing Skyden for your SOC needs, you are not just acquiring a compliance report; you are investing in a strategic partnership committed to enhancing your control environment, bolstering stakeholder trust, and fortifying your reputation in an increasingly complex digital world.
