SOC 3 is a type of report that provides an overview of a service organization's controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. It is designed for general use and can be shared publicly, making it useful for organizations that want to demonstrate their commitment to data protection and operational effectiveness. Unlike SOC 1 and SOC 2, which are more detailed and intended for specific audiences, SOC 3 offers a high-level summary of the findings from a SOC 2 audit. This report helps clients and stakeholders understand the organization's control environment without delving into sensitive details.
