System and Organisation Controls (SOC) reports provide the data required to assess the risks connected with outsourced suppliers. These guidelines must be adhered to by service auditors performing SSAE 18 engagements. SOC compliance demonstrates a commitment to protecting data and maintaining operational integrity. By obtaining SOC reports, organizations assure clients and stakeholders that they have effective internal controls, fostering trust and credibility.
This webinar will explore the critical components of designing a robust Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) framework tailored to managing risks associated with IT vendor partnerships. As organizations increasingly depend on external IT vendors for essential services, effectively managing the risks of these third-party relationships is paramount to ensuring business continuity, security, regulatory compliance, and data security.
A SOC report evaluates internal controls for an outsource service provider. Various standards and frameworks define these controls. SOC audits are related to audits that evaluate an organization's controls over its systems, particularly in areas like data security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. They serve as a standard for providing assurance to customers, stakeholders, and other interested parties about the effectiveness of an organization's internal controls.
