SOC 1 – System and Organization Controls for Financial Reporting

SOC 1 reports focus on internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR). Designed for service organizations that impact their clients' financial statements, SOC 1 compliance is especially relevant for SaaS, cloud platforms, and data centers that support accounting, billing, payroll, or transaction processing systems.

The framework is governed by the AICPA (American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) and evaluates how effectively a service organization controls financial data that may affect its clients' financial statements.
