MorganHill helps organizations prepare for SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits by offering comprehensive pre-audit services before embarking on an actual audit.  With years of compliance services, we offer the following SOC 1 and SOC 2 services for organizations ready to embark on their audit journey:

• Initial Readiness Assessment: Our consultants will conduct a thorough assessment of your organization's current controls and processes to determine your readiness for a SOC 1 or SOC 2 audit. This assessment will identify gaps and areas that need improvement to align with the relevant Trust Services Criteria (for SOC 2) or control objectives (for SOC 1).
• Control Mapping and Gap Analysis: We'll map your existing controls to the applicable SOC 1 or SOC 2 requirements and perform a gap analysis to identify any control deficiencies or gaps in meeting the criteria. Our experts will provide a comprehensive report detailing recommended actions to address these gaps.
• Control Design and Enhancement: Our consultants will collaborate with your team to design or enhance controls that meet the requirements of the chosen SOC report. We'll help you establish controls that are effective, well-documented, and aligned with your organization's business operations.
• Policy and Procedure Development: We'll assist in creating or refining policies and procedures that support the controls outlined in the SOC 1 or SOC 2 framework. These documents will reflect your commitment to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, as applicable.
• Risk Assessment and Management: Our experts will guide you through a risk assessment process to identify and prioritize risks to the achievement of your control objectives. We'll help you establish risk mitigation strategies that align with SOC 1 or SOC 2 requirements.
• Data Classification and Protection: We'll collaborate with your organization to classify data based on its sensitivity and impact. Our consultants will assist in implementing appropriate data protection measures and access controls to ensure compliance with SOC 1 or SOC 2 requirements.
• Vendor and Third-Party Management: We'll help you assess and manage the risks posed by third-party vendors or service providers. Our consultants will guide you in evaluating vendor controls and contracts to ensure they align with SOC 1 or SOC 2 expectations.
• Testing and Validation: Our experts will assist in performing testing and validation of controls to ensure they operate effectively and meet the intended objectives. We'll conduct testing in line with SOC 1 or SOC 2 guidelines and document the results for the audit report.
• Audit Preparation and Support: We'll guide you through the process of preparing for the SOC 1 or SOC 2 audit. Our consultants will assist in gathering evidence, responding to auditor inquiries, and ensuring that your organization is well-prepared for the audit engagement.
