SOC 1 Audit and Attestation

When it comes to financial reporting, trust is everything. That’s why SOC 1 compliance isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a crucial step in proving your organization’s internal controls are rock-solid. At VISTA InfoSec, we make SOC 1 compliance simple, transparent, and stress-free with our expert-led audit services.

We know that no two businesses are alike, so we offer three tailored services: Advisory, Consulting, and Attestation (Complete Audit). Whether you need guidance, hands-on assistance, or a full-scale audit, we’ve got you covered. As a vendor-neutral and CREST-certified firm, we bring you an unbiased, industry-recognized approach to compliance—so you can build trust with your customers with confidence.

Additionally, if your organization is managing multiple compliance frameworks like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or SOC 2 alongside SOC 1, our AuditFusion360 service allows you to consolidate overlapping controls into a single, streamlined audit—saving both time and cost, so make sure to check it out!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
