SOC1/SOC2/ISAE 3402 Assessment Before the External Audit: 30-Days Consulting Service

IT Partner LLC

Our SOC1/SOC2/ISAE 3402 pre-audit assessment service prepares organizations for audits by reviewing control environments, information systems, and data security practices for compliance.

SOC1 (Service Organization Control 1), SOC2 (Service Organization Control 2), and ISAE 3402 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3402) are auditing standards that assess the controls and processes of service organizations. These assessments help provide assurance to customers and stakeholders about the effectiveness of the organization's internal controls and the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of their systems.

Enhances Microsoft 365: By validating internal controls and security processes against SOC1/SOC2/ISAE 3402 standards, our service ensures Microsoft 365 environments maintain high standards of security, availability, and data integrity.

Before undergoing an external audit for SOC1, SOC2, or ISAE 3402 compliance, service organizations typically conduct an assessment to ensure they are adequately prepared. This assessment helps identify any gaps or weaknesses in their control environment and enables them to take corrective actions before the formal audit.
