As independent auditors, Mallette’s experts collaborate closely with client stakeholders to conduct SOC 2 audits, ensuring a thorough independent evaluation of the organization's controls. Our meticulous and practical approach reinforces stakeholder confidence in the security and reliability of our client's systems.

A SOC 2 report focuses on operational and compliance-oriented matters. It assesses whether a service organization adheres to one or more of the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria: Security (required in all SOC 2 reports), Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. As cybersecurity threats escalate and compliance requirements become more complex, a SOC 2 report has emerged as a recognized standard, ensuring that user entities—from SaaS vendors to healthcare providers and financial institutions—can confidently trust their partners’ systems covered in the scope of the SOC 2 audit. By obtaining such a report, service organizations not only bolster their reputation for trustworthiness and compliance but may also enhance their competitiveness in the marketplace.

Be Proactive by Integrating SOC 2 Into Your Operating Model

As SOC 2 assurance transitions from a nice-to-have to a market expectation, it’s clear that this requirement won’t be fading any time soon. User entities increasingly treat a SOC 2 report as a baseline standard when selecting service providers. By proactively investing in SOC 2 compliance, service providers are not only responding to current client demands, but also preparing for future market needs. Integrating the costs of a SOC 2 examination and continuous compliance measures into service provider pricing models ensures that the value of audited information technology controls is both clearly communicated and sustainably supported.
