SOC 2 Examinations – Delaware

SOC 2 Audits - Delaware (DE)

McKonly & Asbury provides SOC audits to companies in Delaware and beyond. Typically, we work with organizations that use or store sensitive financial and personal data that cybercriminals want. Our clients include data centers, loan servicing companies, insurance companies, medical claims processors, and payroll providers. Broadly, any organization that provides services to customers that directly impact the customer’s financial statements would be a candidate for such a report. Service organizations should evaluate their needs along with their customers’ reporting needs before determining the type of SOC report that applies to their needs. There are two types of SOC 2 audits:

  • SOC 2 Type I – A SOC 2 Type I report is an opinion on management’s description of a service organization’s system and the suitability of their design of controls that meet the AICPA’s Trust Service Criteria for Security. It can also address Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and/or Privacy, depending on your customers’ requirements. The report comprises the auditor’s opinion, management’s assertion on the presentation and design of the controls, a description of the service organization’s systems and controls, and a listing of the organization’s controls. The SOC 2 Type I audit report differs from the SOC Type II in that the former covers ONLY the suitability of the design and addresses ONLY at one specific point in time.
  • SOC 2 Type II – A SOC 2 Type II report is an opinion on management’s description of a service organization’s system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of controls that meet the AICPA’s Trust Service Criteria for Security. Similar to a SOC 2 Type I, this report can also address Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and/or Privacy, depending on your customers’ requirements. A SOC 2 Type II audit report contains the same core components as a Type I, but Type II is expanded to include the procedures used by the auditor to test the stated controls and the results of such tests over a defined period, rather than a single point in time.

SOC 2 FAQs

A SOC 2 audit evaluates your organization’s controls against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria framework over security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It ensures that your controls are effectively designed and operating to protect sensitive customer information.

Organizations that handle sensitive client data, such as SaaS providers, cloud service platforms, data hosting companies, and healthcare organizations, can benefit from a SOC 2 audit.

SOC 2 Type 1 evaluates the design of your controls at a specific point in time, while SOC 2 Type 2 assesses the design and operating effectiveness of these controls over a defined period (typically 3-12 months).

A SOC 2 audit demonstrates your commitment to data security, giving you a competitive edge. It helps attract new clients, strengthens relationships with existing ones, and assures your clients that their sensitive data is protected.

A SOC 3 audit covers the same criteria as a SOC 2 audit but results in a general-use report that is ideal for public visibility and marketing purposes, making it easier to share your security practices with a wider audience.

About Delaware

Delaware’s business communitySilhouette of the State of Delaware is shaped by its small size, strategic location and unusually strong role in corporate formation, finance, legal services and professional services. Wilmington remains the state’s main commercial center, with deep ties to banking, credit cards, insurance, law, accounting and corporate governance, while New Castle County benefits from access to the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington corridor. The state also has a meaningful science, technology and life sciences presence, supported by research assets, university connections and Delaware’s long history in chemicals, materials and innovation. State economic development leaders continue to emphasize science, technology and R&D as growth areas for Delaware companies.

Beyond Wilmington, Delaware’s economy becomes more diverse and locally driven. Dover is anchored by state government, health care, education, military activity and small business activity, while Sussex County has a strong agricultural, food production, tourism, construction and real estate base. The beach communities support hospitality, retail, restaurants, professional services and second-home related businesses, while poultry, farming and agribusiness remain important in southern Delaware. Health care is also a major growth driver statewide, with Delaware labor officials noting that several of the state’s fastest-growing occupations are in health care fields.
