What is SOC 2 Types of SOC 2 audits Importance Costs Timelines Frequency Challenges

There are two types of SOC 2 audits. You can choose between:

SOC 2 Type I: A SOC 2 Type 1 report is an assessment of an organization’s operational controls and design at a given point in time. It validates whether the organization has the right controls in place and is designed to meet the requirements under SOC 2.

SOC 2 Type II: A SOC 2 Type 2 report is an assessment of an organization’s operational controls and design over an observation period, which can be between 3 and 12 months.

A SOC 2 Type I report is ideal as a starting point for businesses preparing for their first audit or looking to quickly demonstrate control readiness. SOC 2 Type II, on the other hand, provides stronger assurance to customers and partners by verifying that those controls are not only in place but consistently followed over time
