A SOC 3 report is a short form report issued under the SSAE-18 standard.
This report may be generally distributed to the public, with the option of displaying a seal on your website.
In contrary to SOC 1 or SOC 2 formatted reports, where the report cannot be shared publicly, a more consolidated version may be provided under SOC 3. These reports are designed to address the needs of those customers who want assurance on controls realted to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or privacy, but do not have the need for the knowledge necessary to make effective use of a SOC 2 report.
