Which audit report provides an attestation of audit results that cloud service providers will make available for public consumption?

Answer options

• A. SOC 3
• B. SOC 1 Type 1
• C. SOC 2 Type 2
• D. SOC 1

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The SOC 3 report is designed for public distribution and provides a summary of the audit results, making it suitable for cloud service providers to share openly. In contrast, SOC 1 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, and SOC 1 reports are typically more detailed and intended for specific stakeholders rather than general public consumption.
