See how SOC 2® and SOC for Cybersecurity differ and how they can help

Cybersecurity is a top priority for many organizations. This is no surprise, considering the high number of attacks they face. An Accenture survey found that the average organization was a victim to 2.5 successful cyberattacks each week in FY 2017.*

In response, organizations are increasing their cybersecurity budgets, hiring more IT staff, deploying third-party solutions and providing more training for existing employees.

The SOC for Cybersecurity examination provides an independent, entity-wide assessment of these and other efforts — giving boards, investors, business partners and other stakeholders confidence in an organization’s cybersecurity risk management program (CRMP). The SOC 2 engagement can also provide users with insight into an organization’s cybersecurity controls, but there are significant differences between the audience, subject matter and scope of each service. This brochure can help clients identify which engagement is right for them.
