Which SSAE report carries a seal of approval from a certified auditor?

The option that carries a seal of approval from a certified auditor is the SOC 3 report. SOC 3 reports are general-use reports that summarize the information and findings from a SOC 2 examination, which focuses on controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Unlike SOC 2 reports that are more detailed and typically restricted for internal stakeholders or clients, SOC 3 reports are intended for a broader audience and can be freely distributed. The seal of approval indicates that the auditor has reviewed and validated the organization's controls and processes, providing assurance to stakeholders that the organization is maintaining effective security practices according to the established criteria. This makes SOC 3 particularly valuable for businesses wanting to publicly demonstrate their commitment to high standards of security and operational controls.
