Who should comply with SOC1 Attestation?
SOC 1 Audit is essential for Service Organizations whose services impact user entities’ Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (ICFR). This would include Payroll processors, Medical claims processors, Loan servicing companies, Datacenter companies, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) companies that may impact the financials of their user entities.
How much would a SOC 1 Audit Cost?
SOC1 Audit cost for an average-sized company starts at $15000. Pricing for a SOC1 audit usually depends on several factors, including the Scope of SOC1 Audit, Types of Report, Business Applications, Technology Platforms, Number of Locations, etc. to be included in the audit, and other additional services.
How long would it take to complete a SOC 1 Audit?
On average it takes 8-12 weeks to complete a SOC1 Audit with reporting. However, the timeline also greatly depends on the time taken for implementing the remediation suggested in the gap analysis.
What will you get after a SOC 1 Audit is complete?
You will receive SOC1 reports documenting the details of the effectiveness of the Service Organization’s system and controls. The report will detail information about how your client information is maintained securely with all necessary controls in place. Additionally, we also provide a “Certificate of Compliance” that you can proudly show your clients and also hang on your office walls and conference rooms.
What is the validity of a SOC 1 report and how often should an audit be conducted?
A SOC1 Report is only valid for a year or 12 months from the date of issue and as per the Industry Standard requirement, a SOC1 Audit must be performed annually, or after significant changes are introduced that may impact systems and control in an environment.
