Is it current?
Old reports leave a blind spot.
In plain English
A SOC 2 report is a third-party review of a vendor’s security practices for a specific system and time period. Most public organizations do not “get SOC 2 certified.” They receive SOC 2 reports from MSPs, cloud tools, and software companies they depend on.
What to check in a vendor report
Does it cover your product?
The system in the report must match what you actually use.
What is carved out?
Some services or partners may be excluded.
What do you still own?
Your passwords, MFA, and access reviews still matter.
How FalconForgeAI helps you
We help you turn vendor PDFs into clear answers for leaders.
- Inventory critical vendors — Who runs email, backups, finance, student systems, and public portals?
- Read the report for you — Scope, dates, exceptions, and gaps—in plain language.
- Connect to ORC § 9.64 — Vendor risk is part of a living public-sector program.
- Ask better follow-ups — What still needs a contract change, config change, or owner?
We help you see and organize the story. Your leaders still decide. We do not file state or federal reports, certify compliance, or give legal advice.
