CCSP Exam - Question 351


SOC Type 1 reports are considered "restricted use," in that they are intended only for limited audiences and purposes.

Which of the following is NOT a population that would be appropriate for a SOC Type 1 report?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C

SOC Type 1 reports are designed for restricted use, primarily for the service organization itself, current clients, and auditors. These reports provide a snapshot in time of the service organization's controls, but they are not typically shared with potential clients, who may require a more detailed and ongoing assessment available in a SOC Type 2 report. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to provide a Type 1 report to potential clients.

They keep mentioning SOC Type 1, 2, and 3. There are only two types: Type 1 and Type 2. They probably mean SOC 1, SOC2 2, and SOC 3.

SOC Type 1 reports are considered "restricted use" and are intended only for internal stakeholders, current clients, and auditors who need to assess an organization's financial controls or security posture. These reports contain sensitive details about internal controls, which is why they are not typically shared with potential clients. Why Not the Others? A. Current clients → Need the report to assess the effectiveness of controls before continuing their business relationship. B. Auditors → Use the report to validate compliance and control effectiveness. D. The service organization → The organization being audited will receive the report for internal review and improvements.
