    Answer options:

    A.

    SOC 1® Type II

    B.

    SOC 2® Type II

    C.

    SOC 3®

    D.

    SOC for Cybersecurity

    Match 'General Public' + 'No Details' to SOC 3.

    Full Answer

    C.SOC 3®✓ Correct
    C
    A SOC 3® report is a general-use report that provides only the auditor's opinion on whether the system achieved the Trust Services Criteria. It does not include the detailed description of tests and results found in a SOC 2®, making it suitable for public marketing.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing SOC 2 (Restricted Use) with SOC 3 (General Use).
