ISC2 CISSP Exam - Topic 7 Question 118 Discussion

Posted by Alison on May 30, 2026 at 03:13 AM

Which reporting type requires a service organization to describe its system and define its control objectives and controls that are relevant to users internal control over financial reporting?

Suggested Answer: B

Service Organization Control 1 (SOC1) is a report that provides information about the controls at a service organization that may affect the user entities' internal control over financial reporting. It is intended for users who have a reasonable understanding of the nature and significance of the service provided, the service organization's system, and the applicable trust services criteria. A SOC 1 report can help an organization evaluate the effectiveness of the service organization's controls that are relevant to users internal control over financial reporting.

I’m a bit confused; I thought SOC3 was just a summary report. I need to double-check which one really focuses on internal controls.

SOC2 sounds familiar too, but I believe that's more about data security and privacy rather than financial reporting.
JU

I remember practicing a question about SAS 70, but I think SOC1 is the one that specifically addresses control objectives for financial reporting.

I think it might be SOC1 because it focuses on internal controls related to financial reporting, but I'm not entirely sure.
