Breach Notification audit
A typical HIPAA Security and Breach Notification audit The evaluation of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards as they relate to the electronically protected health information (ePHI) that an organization creates, receives, processes, maintains, and transmits, as well as the evaluation of the organization's policies, procedures, and overall readiness to manage a breach of protected health information (PHI) following the notification requirements, are all part of rule compliance.

Type of Report
‍This type of report is given in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) attestation requirements, specifically AT-C Section 315, Compliance Attestation. AT-C Section 315 reports convey an auditor's view on an organization's compliance with specific laws and regulations; in this example, the HIPAA security and breach reporting standards. A report provided in accordance with AT-C Section 315 rules does not give a legal finding of an entity's compliance with specified requirements; nonetheless, such a report may be valuable to legal counsel or others in making such conclusions.

Security Compliance Report
‍A HIPAA security compliance report is useful to any HIPAA-covered entity or business associate that must demonstrate HIPAA compliance. Here are some examples of how audit reports are used:Service organizations or providers (for example, providers of colocation services, managed services, cloud services, software-as-a-service, outsourced transaction processing, and so on) may provide the report to potential or existing customers to reassure them that the systems environment in which they store ePHI is HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA refers to these organizations as "business associates," They must execute a business associate agreement with each HIPAA-covered company for which they offer such services.

Healthcare providers and payer companies may desire such a report to assess the effectiveness of their privacy and security compliance programs and make adjustments.Healthcare providers and payer organizations may demand the report for their most critical service providers (i.e., business partners) to assure HIPAA compliance and improve the possibility that threats, vulnerabilities, and dangers to ePHI have been discovered and addressed.

Planning
Preparation
Testing
Reporting

At the start of every SOC report, a kickoff call is held to set expectations and ensure efficient delivery. During this call we identify key players involved in the process along with any services that require an opinion as part of our readiness assessment. Should a readiness assessment be required, we also set dates for when related work must take place; such as gathering data on controls present within each service before analyzing any gaps that may exist or need improvement upon. The data flow across these services will be evaluated through gap analysis to determine if additional controls need implementation or enhancement; all designed for maximum efficiency when delivering our Type 2 reporting process.

Our dedicated team of professionals customizes testing and audit plans to ensure you receive quality services in an efficient timeframe. Additionally, we provide templates and key points for your convenience during the narrative process. When ready, our experts review drafts before diving into another call to assign tasks related to collecting supporting documents – further streamlining preparation for on-site testing or remote testing intervals. After the audit plan is approved, we will work collaboratively to ensure a successful on-site testing visit. With your support and our guidance, you'll be able to upload all necessary documentation needed for review via our secure portal in preparation of the upcoming testing. Please don't hesitate if any questions pop up along the way - communication is key in creating an efficient & productive on-site process!

OPTION 1: On-Site Fieldwork

We will provide you with an itinerary of our on-site visit in advance and work closely with you to make sure the fieldwork runs smoothly. During this time, we'll conduct thorough walkthroughs, assess control effectiveness through testing procedures, gather necessary documentation for review, and more - all while keeping timeliness top of mind. Once completed, we’ll present the initial results during a final exit interview session so that there is clarity around the next steps needed to generate your SOC report. Our aim is 90-95% completion at the end of site visits; ensuring accuracy as well as timely delivery!

OPTION 2:

Auditing just got easier - AuditSimple streamlines the process, leveraging technology to provide a virtual audit engagement solution that saves time and effort. Using minimal hardware requirements paired with collaborative software and cameras, we can confidently complete audits in real-time. Additionally, our secure server network provides us with access to required databases used during an audit process; this eliminates manual procedures or lengthy processing times associated with manual processes saving us a considerable amount of time during auditing engagements as well as unnecessary travel time.

Once testing and evidence gathering are completed, your auditor will prepare a draft SOC report, which will then undergo a stringent quality control process. The report will be reviewed at two levels by management and partners before you have the opportunity to provide feedback and suggest modifications. After any necessary changes are made, we will conduct one last internal audit before finalizing the report. Once the report is complete, we are proud to provide you with the appropriate seal, which you can display on your website to provide assurance to clients associated with this certification program that your processes meet our high standards.

Frequently Asked Questions on SOC 1 Audits

Who needs a SOC 1 audit?

Any organization that provides services impacting their clients' financial statements may require a SOC 1 audit. This includes businesses in industries like payroll processing, data hosting, financial services, and other outsourced service providers. A SOC 1 report is typically requested by clients to ensure that the service organization's controls are designed and operating effectively.

What is the difference between SOC 1 Type I and SOC 1 Type II reports?

A SOC 1 Type I report provides an assessment of the design of controls as of a specific date. It evaluates whether the controls are suitably designed to achieve the desired objectives.
A SOC 1 Type II report goes further by evaluating both the design and operating effectiveness of those controls over a defined period, usually 6 to 12 months. Type II provides greater assurance to clients as it shows how well controls were functioning during that period.

How often should a SOC 1 audit be performed, and how long does it take?

SOC 1 audits are typically performed annually, especially for organizations that provide critical financial services or have client contracts requiring regular compliance. Annual audits ensure that the organization consistently maintains effective internal controls and complies with client and regulatory expectations.
The time it takes to complete a SOC 1 audit depends on the type of audit (Type I or Type II) and the complexity of your controls. A SOC 1 Type I audit can usually be completed within a few months, as it assesses the design of controls at a specific point in time. A SOC 1 Type II audit, which evaluates the operating effectiveness of controls over a period (typically 6 to 12 months), requires more time to complete due to the extended testing period. The readiness of your organization and the thoroughness of documentation also impact the audit timeline.

What is the role of AuditVisor in the SOC 1 audit process?

As a licensed CPA firm, AuditVisor provides comprehensive SOC 1 audit services. Our experienced auditors help you through the entire process, from readiness assessment and gap analysis to remediation support and issuing the final SOC 1 attestation report. We also offer ongoing compliance reviews and control testing to ensure your organization remains compliant year after year.

What should organizations do to prepare for a SOC 1 audit?

Preparation is key to a successful SOC 1 audit. Organizations should:
Conduct a readiness assessment to identify gaps in internal controls.
Implement or enhance controls based on SSAE 18 standards.
Document control processes thoroughly.
Train staff on their role in maintaining and executing controls.
AuditVisor can assist with these preparations through our SOC 1 readiness services, helping you build a solid foundation for a successful audit.

What is SSAE 18, and how does it relate to SOC 1?

SSAE 18 stands for "Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18." It is the auditing standard under which SOC 1 audits are performed. SSAE 18 focuses on evaluating internal controls related to financial reporting and ensures that service organizations are adequately protecting their clients' financial information.

How does a SOC 1 audit benefit my clients?

A SOC 1 audit provides your clients with assurance that your organization has effective internal controls to safeguard their financial data. It helps your clients meet their own compliance and regulatory requirements by ensuring that your services do not introduce risk into their financial reporting processes. Additionally, having a SOC 1 report demonstrates transparency, trustworthiness, and a commitment to maintaining high operational standards.
