SOC 2 Readiness for ICT Service Providers

Satisfy your customers' supply chain security requirements with a SOC 2 Type II report.

ICT service providers serving financial-sector customers under DORA increasingly need SOC 2 reports to satisfy third-party risk requirements. cAIberion prepares the service provider for the future formal SOC 2 attestation by a licensed audit firm. Particularly relevant for financial institutions utilising intragroup ICT service provision.

The readiness assessment evaluates your controls against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, Privacy), identifies gaps, and produces a remediation plan that smooths the formal audit. The result is reduced attestation cost, fewer surprises, and a faster path to issuing your first SOC 2 Type I or Type II report. The deliverable is a readiness report and action plan to prepare for a formal SOC-2 audit.
