Types of SOC2 Reports
A type 1 report focuses on a description of a service organization’s system and on the suitability of the design of its controls to achieve the related control objectives included in the description, as of a specified date.
A type 2 report contains the same opinions as a type 1 report with the addition of an opinion on the operating effectiveness of the controls to achieve the related control objectives included in the description throughout a specified period.
Usage of the report is restricted to the management of the service organization, user entities, and user auditors.
