SOC for Cybersecurity

by Hannah Grace Holladay / May 16th, 2023

A SOC for Cybersecurity examination is how a CPA reports on an organization’s cybersecurity risk management program. Its intent is to communicate information regarding an organization’s cybersecurity risk management efforts, which can give boards of directors, analysts, investors, business partners, industry regulators, and users an entity-wide perspective and confidence in an organization’s cybersecurity risk management program.

A SOC for Cybersecurity examination reports on three elements: Management’s Description, Management’s Assertion, and Practitioner’s Opinion.
