SOC 1

Controls over financial reporting.

A SOC 1 report documents a service organization’s controls that may be relevant to financial reporting. Google Cloud Platform undergoes a regular third-party audit to certify individual products against this standard.

SSAE 16 / ISAE 3402 Type II

The Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) created the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) to keep pace with globally recognized international accounting standards.

SSAE 16 aligns closely with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3402 (ISAE 3402).

SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402 are used to generate a report by an objective third-party attesting to a set of statements which an organization asserts about its controls. The Service Organization Controls (SOC) framework is the method by which the control of financial information is measured.
