SOC 2 SOC2-CC1.2: CC1.2 Board independence and oversight of internal control (COSO principle 2)

SOC 2 SOC2-CC1.2 covers CC1.2 Board independence and oversight of internal control (COSO principle 2). The held text names 4 evidence records for it, the first being Board or audit committee charter assigning oversight of security and internal control. The common gap an assessor flags is Board minutes silent on security and risk topics for the whole period.

A governing body that is independent of management oversees how internal control is designed and how it performs. Points of focus: the board accepts defined oversight duties; it keeps and periodically reviews the skills it needs to question management and act; enough members are independent and objective; and where it lacks expertise in any of the five trust services categories (security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, privacy) it adds it through a committee or outside advisers.
