WheelHouse IT Has Completed a SOC 2 Examination

Your Financial Data Protected by Independently Verified Controls

WheelHouse IT put its own security controls through a SOC 2 examination, audited against AICPA standards by an independent CPA firm. The examination confirms the controls were suitably designed and in place at a point in time.

It is an attestation, not a certification. The distinction matters to anyone who has sat through an audit.

What the Examination Covers

Independent
Validation

SOC 2 is not a marketing term. An independent CPA firm examined the controls and issued a report. WheelHouse IT did not grade its own work.

Ongoing Security Excellence

No client required this. WheelHouse IT went through the examination before it was a condition of any contract, which is the reason it means something.

What This Means For Your Business

Complete Protection

When a client or an insurer asks what controls your provider runs, a report is a document rather than a description. That is a shorter conversation than the alternative.

Compliance Confidence

The compliance obligation stays with your organization, as it does with any provider. What the examination gives you is documented evidence about the controls your provider operates, which you can reference in your own HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI-DSS work.

Reduced Business Risk

The financial impact of a security breach extends beyond recovery. Our proactive approach protects your reputation, customer trust, and bottom line.

Ask Yourself

Is Your Current MSP Taking Your Security Seriously?

  • When was your last comprehensive security assessment?
  • Can your provider demonstrate its controls against an industry standard?
  • Do they have certified security engineers assigned to your environment?
  • What is their incident response plan, and have you seen it?

If you do not have clear answers to these, that is the gap worth closing first.

The assessment documents:

  • Every asset on the network, inventoried, with the internal and external exposures found on it
  • The business impact of each exposure and how likely it is
  • A prioritized list of what to address first
  • A written report, and a risk grade you can take to a board or an insurer

No commitment. The findings are yours in writing whether or not you work with us.

Proactive Protection Beats Reactive Recovery Every Time

What the controls actually do:

  • Continuous monitoring from an internal Network Operations Center, with alerts escalating to a named person on your support pod
  • Regular assessments and vulnerability testing against the environment as it is, not as it was documented
  • Access tied to the role and closed on departure
  • Evidence retained, so a control can be shown rather than described

Incident response is a process, not a promised result. Isolate, restore, document.

Frequently Asked Questions About the SOC 2 Examination

What exactly is a SOC 2 examination?

An independent audit that verifies controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy at a specific point in time. It confirms the systems are in place to keep data secure. It is an attestation issued by a CPA firm, which is why “examination” is the correct word and “certification” is not.

Who performed the examination?

An independent CPA firm, against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria. WheelHouse IT did not grade its own work, and the report is the output rather than a badge.

Why should I care whether my MSP has completed one?

It means an outside firm examined how your provider handles data, rather than the provider describing it themselves. Few MSPs of comparable size have been through it.

Which Trust Services Criteria does the examination cover?

Security (the Common Criteria), Availability, and Confidentiality.

How does it help with our regulatory compliance?

It gives you documented evidence about your provider’s controls that you can reference during your own audits for HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks. Your organization’s compliance obligation stays with your organization.
