What is SOC 1 SSAE 18?

System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 is a series of auditing standards designed to assess the internal controls of service organizations. It focuses on financial reporting and ensures that these organizations have adequate controls in place to safeguard the interests of their clients. The Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18, the latest update to the SOC 1 framework, further enhances the accuracy and transparency of service organization reports.
