The American Coalition of SOC Auditors® came to be in 2021 after a small group of SOC auditors wanted to create a space to learn, grow, and unify. The initiative developed as a response to growing competition from unaccredited companies offering software and platforms that claim to make the SOC audit process faster and cheaper.
We believe that now is the time to collaborate and raise awareness about the importance of professional integrity and quality assurances that come with SOC testing and attestation. Only licensed CPAs can provide the guidance that is needed for compliance and auditing success.
The American Coalition of SOC Auditors®: For SOC Auditors, by SOC Auditors
Together–as auditing professionals and CPA practitioners—we can build a strong network within our unique industry. As the champion for SOC professionals, our members turn to The American Coalition of SOC Auditors® for education, advocacy, tools and insights that can help them succeed.
Community of Experts & Peers
Unlike other trade organizations that may include SOC auditing under their umbrella of vast careers, The American Coalition of SOC Auditors® is a place specifically designed to facilitate discussion and share knowledge within the world of SOC auditing. This association works to promote discussion, the sharing of information and know-how, as well as career and training opportunities.
WHAT DRIVES US
Promoting Integrity
Our association believes that our clients and potential clients should recognize the value of guidance provided by authorized assessors and certified CPAs. This is in contrast to automated SOC tools that outsource auditing engagements, lack consistent assistance, and limited quality assurance. We work to protect the integrity of our trade and bolster appreciation for related professional certifications and accreditations.
Committed to Advocacy
The American Coalition of SOC Auditors® is committed to advocating for greater recognition of the professional credentials for SOC practitioners. We are always looking for new avenues to raise awareness about this cause.
Aimed at Innovation
As the risk environment continues its rapid transformation, so too does the security and compliance industry. The American Coalition of SOC Auditors® promotes both conventional formation and forward-thinking innovation. Education, training, skills, and experience represent a powerful springboard for research, technological advancement, and ongoing improvement in our field.
We actively support the development of new process and tools that help make our work more efficient, accurate. We also support innovation that helps SOC practitioners better serve their customers and streamline the compliance process for them.
