    I'm having trouble obtaining a SOC 2 for an insurance company we use those tracks insurances on auto loans. Is this an industry trend? I would think they would have some type of document by a third party as they have a lot of NPI.

    Hi,

    Please check your agreement with the insurance company regarding audit rights.  At a minimum, the agreement should specify that upon request, you should be able to obtain a SOC 2 report.  If your current agreement does not specify audit rights, then I would suggest that you pursue a contract amendment to obtain those rights.

    The agreement/contract states they don't have a SOC 2. They only have a SOC 1.

    I would request the SOC 1.   One can still gain insight into the Service Organization's security and transaction processing controls, even if the emphasis is on controls over financial reporting.
