SOC Readiness Assessment
A Service Organization Control (SOC) audit provides an independent assessment of your organization's internal controls. If your organization has never completed a SOC audit, a readiness assessment is a quick and easy way to determine how ready you are to undertake such an audit. A readiness assessment is an inquiry-based assessment of your internal controls and documentation to support those controls.
At the end of this assessment, you receive a report listing your controls and control gaps giving your organization a to-do list prior to undertaking your first full SOC audit.
