SOC for cybersecurity

SOC for cybersecurity, introduced by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) in 2017, represents a significant leap in cybersecurity assurance. This framework evaluates an organization's cybersecurity risk management program against chosen baseline criteria.

SOC for Cybersecurity is an examination engagement that enables organizations to report on the effectiveness of their cybersecurity risk management program. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), this service provides stakeholders with valuable insights into an entity's cybersecurity efforts.

​

Key components

​

The SOC for Cybersecurity report consists of three main elements. First, management prepares a narrative description of the organization's cybersecurity risk management program, following AICPA's description criteria. Second, management provides an assertion about the presentation of the description and the effectiveness of controls within the program. Finally, an independent practitioner offers an opinion on the description's presentation and the effectiveness of controls.

​

Benefits of SOC for cybersecurity

​

By undertaking a SOC for Cybersecurity examination, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity, enhance stakeholder confidence, and identify areas for improvement. This process also helps align cybersecurity efforts with industry standards and best practices while providing a common language for communicating these efforts to stakeholders.
