SOC 2 Audit and Attestation

SOC 2 compliance and audit is essential for any service organization that provides critical customer services. It demonstrates that your systems and processes meet the highest standards for data security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

At VISTA InfoSec, we offer end-to-end SOC 2 compliance and audit services tailored to your business needs. Our team helps you define the scope, assess gaps, implement required controls, and prepare for the final audit—whether you’re pursuing a SOC 2 Type I (design of controls) or Type II (operating effectiveness over time) report.

Backed by over 20 years of experience, ISO/IEC 27001 certification, CREST accreditation, and licensed CPA auditors, we ensure your compliance journey is thorough and efficient. If you’re also managing other frameworks like ISO 27001 or PCI DSS, along with SOC2, our AuditFusion360 service allows you to combine overlapping controls into a single, streamlined audit—saving both time and cost.

With VISTA InfoSec, you get more than an audit, you get a trusted partner in building a secure and compliant organization.
