Arlington Data Centers – SOC 2 Experience
Keiter CPAs works with data centers in Richmond and across Virginia conducting SOC 2 examinations. We work with enterprise, colocation facilities, hyperscale, edge and other data centers. Our team has years of experience conducting SOC 2 examinations and understand the common risk factors, areas of exposure, and critical testing variables. The result is not only a SOC 2 audit report but also best practices and other insights to strengthen your IT environment.
SOC 2 Report Services
- SOC 2 Type 1 – This audit reports on management’s description of a service organization’s system of internal controls and the suitability of the design. It does not generally involve sample testing to demonstrate controls functioned effectively over a period. It is commonly used when a service organization needs a report in a short period of time, it’s the first time going through the process, or for marketing purposes.
- SOC 2 Type 2- A Type II audit provides the same assurances in a Type I audit, but also includes assurance over the operating effectiveness of internal controls. Unlike the Type I, the Type II provides assurances that internal controls operated effectively over a period of time, typically no shorter than six months. The Type II audit is preferred by most service organizations because it generally satisfies its user organization and user organization auditor’s requirements.
