Info about Workiva's SOC report periods and release dates
It's everybody's favorite time of year—SOC report season!
All kidding aside, we know our annual compliance reports are important to you, and we work hard to get them to you in a timely manner. We tend to get a few questions on our compliance process, so we wanted to share with you some information on our control periods and anticipated release dates.
Workiva completes Service Organization Controls (SOC) 1 and 2 Type II reports annually. The SOC reports are performed by an independent third party and establishes that Workiva employs uniform and reliable operational controls and safeguards as a host and processor of data belonging to their customers. Workiva does not disclose the results of internal audits.
SOC reports
-
Workiva SOC 1 Type II report is unqualified with a control period that covers November through October. This will be issued by the end of December
-
Workiva SOC 2 Type II report and includes HIPAA is unqualified; with a control period that covers November through October
-
NEW in 2022 - Workiva will also be issuing an additional SOC 1 with a reporting date of November 1 through March 31. This will be issued in the middle of May
It usually takes 6 weeks from the end of the report period to receive the final SOC Reports. Once available, we will post them to the Security and Compliance Document Request Portal. Additionally, a Bridge Letter through 12/31 will be available by January 3, 2022.
TL;DR - our usual SOC reports will be made available for customers on the Compliance portal by the end of December, and a new SOC report will be made available by the end of May 2022.
