SCHEMA TEMPLATES
SOC 2 Evidence Register
Keep audit evidence tied to a control, a collection period and the people responsible for collecting and reviewing it.
SOC 2 examinations look at service-organization controls relevant to trust services criteria. Evidence may come from many pages, people and periods. This template makes each item identifiable and reviewable, so an audit team can see what was requested, collected and accepted; it does not perform an audit.
Fields
An evidence request is only useful if the audit team can find the right material for the right period and see whether someone has reviewed it. This structure keeps that trail together.
