SOC2 Compliance made Easy
SOC2 is an audit procedure designed by the AICPA to measure the cybersecurity maturity of an organization. There are many reasons that you might need to undergo a SOC2 audit including vendor requirements, building trust in the marketplace, and requirements from business partnerships. Touchstone Security can help you prepare for and pass a SOC2 Audit with flying colors. Our team has extensive experience in helping Mid-Sized Businesses and Enterprise build high performance cybersecurity programs that provide real and meaningful protection without the need to spend excessive amounts of money. Our SOC2 Compliance Services can help your company improve security, meet compliance, and reduce friction.
Fact Finding and Comprehensive SOC2 Assessment
Every SOC-2 Compliance engagement begins with a comprehensive gap assessment. We will carefully examine your current security program, policies, staff, and technology and compare them against best-practices outlined in SOC-2. This phase typically lasts 1-3 weeks depending on the complexity of your IT infrastructure, company size, and existing security protocols. At the end we will deliver a written gap assessment report to show where your security is right now, and where you need it to be with a detailed roadmap of how to get there. This report will outline the current state of your IT infrastructure and additional people, processes, and technology that will be required to achieve SOC-2 compliance.
SOC2 Controls Implementation
During the next phase we will work with your internal IT team to implement security and privacy controls to come fully into line with SOC-2. We always work to ensure that we use as much existing security software and infrastructure as possible to bring costs down. Throughout the implementation phase, we focus on solutions that are both SOC-2 Compliant and will provide real, measurable security benefits to your organization. We will address the following areas:
- Security
- Availability
- Processing Integrity
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
We typically expect SOC-2 implementation to take between 2 weeks and 4 weeks depending on the size and scope of existing IT infrastructure and security protocols. As always, our focus is on implementing security technology and protocols that don’t slow down critical business functions and provide cost-effective improvements to your security posture.
SOC2 Review
Once we have completed the implementation phase we will review your new, updated SOC-2 compliant security program with you. We will go over:
- Security Policies and Procedures
- Privacy Policies
- Additional Security Software
- End-User Training
- Additional Security Procedures
- Any Significant Vulnerabilities that we discovered
We aim to leave you with a SOC-2 compliant security program that you can leverage to achieve compliance goals and reduce the risk of a catastrophic breach. By complying with SOC-2, you are also likely meeting many requirements laid out by other compliance regulations such as the HIPAA Security Rule, PCI DSS, the NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation and others. We will work with you to help ensure that you are meeting applicable regulations specific to your industry.
