What Is a SOC Report?

A SOC report is an independent attestation of your internal controls over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. For AI and SaaS companies, it is the gold standard for proving data protection and operational reliability to customers and regulators. Tech-specific accounting and tax considerations are covered on our technology CPA services page, and our broader audit and assurance services cover non-SOC engagements.

  • Align with AI regulations like the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001
  • Reduce audit fatigue, one report satisfies multiple compliance needs
  • Boost investor and board confidence in your risk management

SOC 2 Audit FAQs

What is the difference between SOC 1 and SOC 2?

SOC 1 addresses internal controls relevant to financial reporting (ICFR), typically required for service organizations that process financial transactions for their clients. SOC 2 addresses the five trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. For AI and SaaS companies, SOC 2 is typically the relevant report demonstrating to enterprise customers that your systems are secure and your data handling is trustworthy.

How long does a SOC 2 audit take?

A SOC 2 Type 1 report, which evaluates the design of controls at a point in time, can typically be completed in approximately 30 days after readiness work is complete. A SOC 2 Type 2 report, which evaluates the operating effectiveness of controls over a period (typically 6 to 12 months), takes approximately 90 days from the end of the audit period. GreenGrowth CPAs structures the process to align with your enterprise sales cycle and compliance deadlines.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2?

A Type 1 report evaluates whether your controls are suitably designed at a specific point in time. A Type 2 report evaluates whether those controls operated effectively over a defined period, typically 6 to 12 months. Enterprise customers increasingly require Type 2 reports, as they demonstrate sustained operational control rather than a snapshot assessment.

How much does a SOC 2 audit cost?

SOC 2 audit pricing depends on company size, system complexity, scope of trust service criteria, and report type. Type 1 engagements for early-stage AI and SaaS companies typically range from $15,000 to $30,000, while Type 2 engagements range from $25,000 to $75,000 depending on complexity. SOC 2+ engagements that combine multiple frameworks may extend higher. GreenGrowth CPAs provides fixed-fee pricing during scoping so there are no surprises during the engagement.

Does GreenGrowth CPAs have experience with AI-specific controls?

Yes. GreenGrowth CPAs has developed pre-built AI control templates for common AI infrastructure including LangChain, Hugging Face, and OpenAI APIs. Our auditors have experience with AI governance frameworks including NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act requirements, and ISO 42001, enabling us to map SOC 2 controls to multiple AI compliance frameworks efficiently.

What is SOC 2+ and when should I consider it?

SOC 2+ extends a standard SOC 2 engagement by mapping your controls to additional frameworks, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, NIST CSF, or customer-specific RFP requirements. This is particularly valuable for companies that face multiple compliance requirements from enterprise customers and want to reduce audit fatigue by satisfying multiple frameworks in a single engagement.
