SOC Report Quiz

Does your organization need a system and organization controls (SOC) report?

SOC examinations provide management with assurance regarding the effectiveness of an organization's internal controls, while also providing insights for opportunities to improve internal controls and risk mitigation activities.

Obtaining a SOC report has become increasingly relevant for organizations of all sizes, as the report demonstrates that effective internal controls and related safeguards have been implemented.

Does your organization need a SOC Report? Take our brief quiz to help answer the question.
