SOC readiness: What it takes to prepare for a SOC examination

For first-time organizations undergoing a System and Organization Controls (SOC) examination, preparing can feel like a daunting task. The goal of a SOC readiness assessment is to set your future examination up for success and save you time and money in the long run. Performing a readiness assessment with an outside consultant will allow you to collaborate on scope, identify gaps in processes and controls and take a practice test (mock audit). In this webinar, Baker Tilly SOC specialists provide an overview of a SOC readiness, the SOC 1® and SOC 2® frameworks, and the assessment process.
