SOC compliance consulting

A SOC readiness review is the most efficient way to prepare for your formal SOC attestation engagement. By identifying potential deficiencies early, you’ll have time to remediate them, put enhanced controls in operation and test the new controls long before a report is issued. Our readiness reviews help and guide the actions necessary for a successful SOC engagement. A readiness audit also greatly increases the likelihood your SOC report accurately reflects the controls and operations you want to provide to your users. SOC readiness reviews are usually most helpful to organizations preparing for their first SOC attestation engagement or transitioning from one SOC report to another (i.e., SOC 1 to SOC 2). RSM’s readiness review options include a high-level diagnostic review of general computer and business process controls—this macro-level view helps you focus your remediation efforts in the right areas prior to your formal SOC engagement and a complete readiness review to provide practical, detailed recommendations that help management establish priorities—this option develops a roadmap for procedures, control objectives or criteria, controls and documentation that should be in place before your formal SOC engagement.
