SOC 1 reports address internal controls at a service organization that are relevant to user entities' financial reporting. If your organization processes payroll, administers benefits, handles financial transactions, or provides services that affect your customers' financial statements, your customers' auditors will ask for your SOC 1 report. BetterWorld Technology prepares you to produce one.
Every engagement is built around measurable outcomes, clear ownership, and the expertise to execute.
We define the scope of your SOC 1 examination, identify the controls relevant to your customers' financial reporting, and document the control objectives your report will address.
For Type I reports, we validate that controls are suitably designed. For Type II, we ensure controls operate effectively throughout the audit period and produce the evidence your CPA firm needs.
We coordinate with your CPA firm through the examination, prepare evidence packages, respond to auditor inquiries, and manage findings to minimize exceptions in your final report.
Complete documentation of all in-scope controls, control objectives, and the evidence demonstrating design and operating effectiveness.
Systematic collection and organization of control evidence throughout the audit period, formatted for efficient auditor review.
Change management controls ensuring that system changes are authorized, tested, and approved before moving to production.
User access controls, provisioning and de-provisioning procedures, privileged access management, and periodic access reviews.
Incident detection, response, and resolution procedures with escalation paths and management notification requirements.
Backup procedures, recovery testing, and business continuity planning covering systems relevant to financial reporting processes.
We build programs that satisfy auditors, regulators, and examiners because we design them around actual requirements and real evidence, not documentation theater.
We have prepared organizations for SOC 1 examinations across multiple CPA firms and understand what auditors look for and how to present evidence efficiently.
We prepare organizations for both Type I reports (control design as of a point in time) and Type II reports (operating effectiveness over a period), depending on your customer requirements.
SOC 1 controls overlap significantly with SOC 2 and ISO 27001. We design control programs that satisfy multiple frameworks simultaneously.
We help you understand exactly which control objectives your enterprise customers require and build your report scope to satisfy their specific needs.
