Why SOC Compliance Matters
Achieving SOC compliance isn’t just about checking boxes, it requires a deep understanding of security controls, documentation standards, and ongoing risk management. Without expert guidance, managing these responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming.
Licensed CPA Firm
As a licensed CPA firm, RSAA is authorized to perform SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 audits and issue attestation reports in line with AICPA guidelines.
Comprehensive Support
Expert guidance at every phase of your SOC reporting journey, readiness, remediation, and audit. Our licensed CPAs conduct attestation engagements independently, with clear separation from readiness support to maintain AICPA compliance and audit integrity.
Risk-Based Approach – Aligning Controls to Real Threats
We prioritize your SOC reporting process based on actual risk exposure and business context, not just generic templates.
Our 5-Step SOC Compliance Process
Our structured process empowers organizations to achieve SOC 1, SOC 2, or SOC 3 compliance with confidence. From initial evaluation to final attestation, our advisor-led methodology ensures your security controls align with AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria.
Initial Consultation
We begin by understanding your business objectives, data environment, and regulatory landscape. This discovery session defines the scope of the SOC engagement, whether SOC 1, SOC 2, or SOC 3, and determines which Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy) are applicable.
Readiness Assessment
Our experts conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your internal controls and security posture. We identify compliance gaps against AICPA standards and highlight potential risks to achieving SOC 1, SOC 2, or SOC 3 readiness.
Remediation Planning
We develop a tailored remediation strategy to close identified gaps. This includes tactical and strategic guidance on implementing necessary controls, enhancing existing policies, and aligning security practices with the applicable SOC reporting requirements.
Documentation & Evidence Collection
We assist in the development and collection of supporting documentation, such as policies, procedures, system configurations, and operational logs. All materials are aligned with the evidence expectations for the final audit, ensuring a smoother path to attestation.
Final Audit & Reporting
Our affiliated CPA team conducts the independent SOC audit. For SOC 1 and SOC 2, Type I reports assess control design at a point in time, while Type II reports evaluate control effectiveness over a specified period. SOC 3 engagements provide a summarized report suitable for public distribution, demonstrating your organization’s commitment to transparency and trust.
