## SOC report types
A SOC (Service Organization Control) report is an independent third-party examination of a service organization's internal controls and processes. These reports provide assurance about the effectiveness of controls relevant to financial reporting, security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
Stripe issues 3 different types of SOC reports: SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, and SOC 3.
### SOC Type II reports
Both SOC 1 and SOC 2 are Type II reports. They cover the design and operating effectiveness of key controls over a 6–12 month period, and include a description of controls provided by Stripe management, attesting that controls are suitably designed and operating effectively.
- **SOC 1:** Focuses on internal controls relevant to financial reporting.
- **SOC 2:** Focuses on controls related to the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, and confidentiality.
### SOC 3
A public-facing report that provides a high-level summary of the SOC 2 examination. No NDA required.
