CyberGuard Compliance Publishes Trust Services Criteria Whitepaper Related to (TSP Section 100) SOC 2 Reporting
Industry expert releases a new Whitepaper with detailed information on TSP Section 100 related to 2017 Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
ORANGE, Calif., Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- CyberGuard Compliance, a global provider of IT Compliance and Cybersecurity services, today announced they published a guide to help organizations identify the changes taking place regarding SOC 2 and SOC 3 audit reporting, effective December 15th, 2018.
In late 2017, the Assurance Services Executive Committee (ASEC) of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) released guidance for the updated version of the Trust Services Criteria for SOC 2 and SOC 3 audits. In the free whitepaper from CyberGuard Compliance, companies will learn:
- How the 2013 COSO Framework integrates into SOC 2 and 3 Reports.
- The 17 principles of the 2013 COSO Framework and how they enhance organizational controls.
- What organizations will need to do in order to comply with the 2017 Trust Services Criteria.
In addition to aligning with COSO 2013, "Points of Focus" are a key element to SOC 2 reports going forward. Points of focus are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the 17 internal control principles outlined in the 2013 COSO framework, Trust Services Criteria, and supplemental criteria. Although points of focus have now been specifically defined, auditors have always utilized the elements within their reviews. The 2017 Trust Services Criteria includes 33 common criteria and approximately 200 points of focus. Across a total of five categories, there is a total of 61 criteria and over 300 points of focus.
"In a volatile environment with growing numbers of cybercriminals and security breaches, it is important for organizations to remain vigilant when it comes to client data. We at CyberGuard Compliance take pride in making sure we provide expert guidance to our clients when it comes to SOC 2 audits and the changes required by TSP Section 100." says Tim Roncevich, Principal at CyberGuard Compliance.
