Many companies rely on ISAE 3402, SOC 1 and SOC 2 reports to address outsourcing risk, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and other compliance requirements. The SOC report framework enables an independent auditor to perform procedures and issue and opinion on the internal controls at a service organisation.
Service organisations often find themselves serving many industries across multiple geographies, which expands the range of compliance and regulatory requirements they must meet.
