SOC Report Selection & Evaluation Aids

With the SAS 70 phasing out on 6/15, financial institutions have a dual challenge; determining the best report to request, and evaluating the report they are provided.  To assist with this challenge, I’ve created two documents.

The first, or Step 1, is a SOC Selection Flowchart, which is available here.  This will assist in determining the most relevant report to request from your service provider.  Once you register your email address, I’ll automatically send the second (Step 2) document, the SOC Evaluation Flowchart.  Step 2 is still under development, as the AICPA has not yet completed the audits guides for the SOC 2 or SOC 3.

You will also have the opportunity to opt in (or opt out) of receiving notice of future regulatory compliance resources, like webinars, white papers, etc.  I hope you find the flowcharts and other resources useful.
