SOC 2 reports are intended to meet the needs of a broad range of users who need information and assurance about controls at a service organization that affect the security, availability, and processing integrity of the systems the service organization uses to process users' data and the confidentiality and privacy of the information processed by these systems. SOC 1 reports are intended for the needs of users who require assurance about internal controls over financial reporting, while SOC 3 reports provide a general overview of the service organization's controls, but may not provide as much detail as a SOC 2 report.
