SOC readiness: What it takes to prepare for a SOC examination

For first-time organizations undergoing a System and Organization Controls (SOC) examination, preparing can feel like a daunting task. The goal of a SOC readiness assessment is to set your future examination up for success and save you time and money in the long run.
