Rod Andes Help With Your SOC 2
READY TO MAKE A MOVE
As businesses evolve, many are embracing the support of external service providers for essential functions like payroll (ADP Workforce Now, Gusto), team communication (Slack, Microsoft Teams), and project management (Asana, Monday). While navigating the landscape of security and compliance may pose challenges, these partnerships can empower companies to thrive. By proactively seeking third-party reports, businesses can ensure that robust security and compliance measures are consistently upheld, fostering confidence and resilience in their operations.
A SOC 2 report is an empowering tool that showcases a company’s commitment to excellence. During a SOC 2, a company’s controls are evaluated. This provides an opportunity to highlight strengths in security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy. Embrace the Trust Service Criteria (TSC), established by the AICPA, as a guide to effectively manage customer data and inspire confidence in your clients.
Vulnerability Scans
Vulnerability Scans play a critical role in the SOC 2 compliance process. While many organizations conduct these assessments quarterly, Copper Mountain offers advanced tools enabling daily testing throughout the preparation and remediation phases. This approach facilitates the prompt identification and resolution of significant vulnerabilities from the outset.
Tabletop Exercises
Tabletop exercises for both Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) and Incident Response (IR) are essential for compliance with SOC 2 standards. At Copper Mountain, we have conducted numerous tabletop exercises and possess the requisite expertise to facilitate and document these in accordance with SOC 2 requirements.
Controls Development
Numerous organizations offer services for developing controls for a SOC 2 audit. In practice, auditors craft control questions based on the specific standards they apply within their organization. At Copper Mountain, we align your remediation efforts with the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria and COSO Principles to ensure compliance with SOC 2 audit requirements.

Preparing for the SOC 2 audit is an essential step for any organization that handles sensitive customer data. SOC 2 compliance indicates to your clients that you prioritize data security and customer privacy. In the US, around 45% of companies with a SOC 2 still experience a breach. This is attributed to poor preparation and SOC 2 auditors that lack actual real world, hands-on experience. Collaborating with a proven experienced professional can help you prepare for the SOC 2 audit and enhance your information security program by identifying weaknesses and addressing vulnerabilities to ensure your program meets the necessary standards for cyber security.
