Full SOC Coverage — SOC 1, SOC 2 & SOC 3
AICPA System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports are the gold standard for service-organization assurance. We cover the entire family — SOC 1 for controls relevant to clients' financial reporting, SOC 2 for the five Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy), and SOC 3 as a public-facing summary of SOC 2.
For each report type, we prepare both Type I (point-in-time control design) and Type II (operating effectiveness across a 6–12 month observation window). One readiness program, one set of policies and evidence — re-used across every report you need.
CyberAlpha runs scoping, gap analysis, control design, evidence automation, and end-to-end coordination with your CPA firm — turning SOC into a repeatable operating rhythm rather than an annual fire-drill.

What a SOC 2 Report Unlocks
Accelerated Sales Cycles
Skip lengthy custom security reviews; share the SOC 2 report under NDA to move deals forward faster.
Higher Deal Values
Enterprise segments that require SOC 2 represent larger ACV and longer-term contract commitments.
Reduced Questionnaire Burden
A mature SOC 2 report answers 60–80% of typical vendor security questionnaires out of the box.
Mature Control Environment
Formalized controls across all five TSCs establish a strong foundation for other frameworks.
Investor & Board Confidence
Due diligence reviews from investors and acquirers are substantially simpler with a clean SOC 2 opinion.
Breach Response Preparedness
Documented incident response and monitoring controls measurably improve real-world breach readiness.
Frequent SOC 2 Compliance Gaps
Weak Access Reviews
Missing quarterly access reviews or inconsistent evidence is the most common Type II exception.
Stale Policies
Policies without annual review dates, sign-offs, or version control undermine auditor confidence.
Incomplete Change Management
Code changes deployed without tickets, approvals, or peer review violate CC8 change controls.
Untested IR Plan
Incident response plans that have never been tabletop-tested fail CC7 monitoring criteria.
Weak Vendor Management
Lack of vendor risk reviews and subservice organization monitoring creates CC9 findings.
MFA Gaps
MFA not enforced on all administrative and production systems is a near-universal initial gap.
