Coverbase for SOC 2

SOC 2 reports pile up faster than anyone can read them. Coverbase reads them first and flags what needs review.

A SOC 2 report is the artifact most vendor reviews hinge on, but only if someone reads it, checks the exceptions, and tracks the subservice organizations behind it. Coverbase ingests SOC 2 reports, surfaces what matters, and keeps the review current.

01 · Overview

What SOC 2 is (and isn't)

SOC 2 is an attestation report from a licensed CPA firm against the AICPA's Trust Services Criteria. It isn't a certification, and it isn't a law. A Type I report covers control design at a point in time; a Type II covers operating effectiveness over a period. Reports also note subservice organizations and complementary user entity controls (CUECs) you're expected to implement.

02 · Requirements

What to check in a SOC 2 report

  1. 01

    Type I vs Type II

    Know whether you're relying on design at a point in time or effectiveness over a period.
  2. 02

    Exceptions and qualifications

    Read the testing exceptions and the auditor's opinion, not only the logo.
  3. 03

    Subservice organizations

    Understand the vendors behind your vendor, whether carved-out or included.
  4. 04

    Complementary user entity controls (CUECs)

    Implement the controls the report says are your responsibility.

06 · Questions

SOC 2 report questions

Ask what the auditor examined and what the customer must do.

Is SOC 2 a certification or legal requirement?

Neither. An independent auditor issues an attestation report on a service organization's controls against the selected Trust Services Criteria.

Does Type II mean there were no exceptions?

No. Read the opinion and test results across the period. We surface exceptions for your reviewer.

What are CUECs?

Complementary user entity controls are actions the report expects the customer to operate. We identify and assign them; your team implements them.
