Type I vs Type II

Understanding SOC 2 Report Types

Your clients' auditors will ask for one of two report types. SBCMSP helps with both — but in different ways.

SOC 2 Type I
Point-in-time snapshot
Assesses whether controls are suitably designed and implemented at a specific point in time. Faster to achieve — typically 4-8 weeks. Good for early-stage companies or first-time SOC 2 engagements.
  • Single point-in-time assessment
  • Design and implementation of controls
  • No operating effectiveness required
  • SBCMSP generates the technical evidence
  • Auditor completes the opinion letter
SOC 2 Type II
Most requested by enterprise buyers
Assesses whether controls operated effectively over a period of time (minimum 6 months, typically 12). Required by most enterprise customers before signing vendor contracts.
  • 6-12 month observation period
  • Operating effectiveness of controls
  • Continuous evidence collection required
  • SBCMSP provides daily scan evidence artifacts
  • Score trend shows controls held over time
MSP Features

Help Your SaaS Clients Achieve SOC 2

📄
CC-Mapped PDF Reports
Generate SOC 2 reports showing each CC control's status (PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL) with your MSP branding. Provide to the client's auditor as evidence of continuous monitoring during the observation period.
🔄
Continuous Evidence Collection
SOC 2 Type II requires evidence that controls operated over time, not just at audit time. SBCMSP's daily scans create a timestamped record of control status across the observation period — exactly what auditors want.
📊
Score Trend History
Show clients their SOC 2 compliance score trending upward over 30, 90, and 180 days. The trend chart in SBCMSP demonstrates continuous improvement — a key signal for SOC 2 Type II auditors.
🔐
CC6 Access Control Checks
CC6 is the largest control group in SOC 2. SBCMSP automates CC6.1 (logical access), CC6.6 (external boundary), CC6.7 (encryption in transit), and CC6.8 (malicious software) — the controls most frequently flagged in SOC 2 audits.
🏷️
White-Label Client Portal
Give each SaaS client their own branded compliance portal showing their SOC 2 score, control status, and remediation progress. Share a portal link instead of emailing PDFs — clients check their own posture anytime.
🖥️
Internal Controls via Agent
SOC 2 CC6.1 requires logical access controls on systems. The SBCMSP Agent verifies local admin accounts, password policies, BitLocker encryption, and audit logging — all CC6.1 requirements — on client Windows servers.
