AICPA Trust Services Criteria & Third-Party Risk Management

The AICPA Trust Services Criteria provide a framework for organizations to demonstrate the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their systems and data. As outsourcing becomes more common, organizations must ensure third-party vendors maintain security control over data. SOC 2 audits help companies assess their internal controls, but understanding and managing third-party risks can be overwhelming due to the complexity of the criteria.

• Understand AICPA trust services categories: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
• Leverage Mitratech’s Third-Party Risk Management platform to automate assessments, monitor, and manage risks across the vendor lifecycle.
• Ensure vendors comply with confidentiality and privacy commitments through regular assessments and corrective actions.
• Use the SOC 2 Report Review Service to map SOC 2 report control exceptions into a unified risk register for streamlined remediation.

Mitratech offers a comprehensive solution to manage third-party risks and simplify SOC 2 compliance, ensuring stronger security across the supply chain.
