Announcing Audora’s New SOC 1 Framework: Streamline Your Type 1 & Type 2 Engagements
We are thrilled to announce a new framework to the Audora platform: the official release of support for the SOC 1 Type 1 and Type 2 frameworks.
In today's interconnected business world, providing assurance over internal controls at service organizations is more critical than ever. SOC 1 engagements are a cornerstone of this trust, but they can be complex and time-consuming. This new framework is designed to empower audit firms to conduct these crucial engagements with unprecedented efficiency, consistency, and confidence.
How the New Audora Framework Will Help Your Firm
Our new SOC 1 framework isn't just a checklist; it's an end-to-end solution integrated directly into the Audora platform you already know. Here’s how it will transform how your firm approaches these engagements:
Standardize Your Approach: Leverage our pre-built engagement templates and work programs for both Type 1 and Type 2 reports. This ensures consistency across all your SOC 1 engagements and auditors, reducing ramp-up time for new staff.
Accelerate Evidence Management: Seamlessly request, collect, and link evidence directly to control objectives and test procedures. Our centralized platform eliminates version control issues and endless email chains.
Enhance Collaboration: Work in real-time with your team and your clients within Audora. Assign tasks, track progress, and communicate on findings, all in one secure location.
Simplify Testing and Reporting: The framework is built to handle the nuances of both report types.
For a SOC 1 Type 1 report, our framework guides you through assessing the suitability of the design of controls as of a specific point in time.
For a SOC 1 Type 2 report, the platform expands to manage the extensive testing of the operating effectiveness of controls over a period, typically 6 to 12 months.
Automate Report Generation: Drastically reduce the time spent on manual report writing. Audora helps you pull tested controls, findings, and management assertions into a polished, client-ready one-click report.
