SOC Compliance readiness check: 1-Month Professional Service

This service is designed to evaluate your organization's readiness to meet the Service Organization Control (SOC) standards and helps in optimizing your use of Microsoft Azure.

SOC compliance is a set of standards created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) to assess an organization's internal controls over financial reporting. Our SOC compliance readiness check allows you to identify potential issues and gaps within your controls and policies, ensuring they align with SOC standards before undergoing an official SOC audit. This minimizes the risk of non-compliance and demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding customer data. During this 30-day engagement, we focus on enhancing your Microsoft Azure environment, providing recommendations on where and how to start using Azure services effectively, while ensuring robust internal controls are in place.
