COMMON QUESTIONS

The honest answers

Do KYC vendors need SOC 2 if they already comply with AML regulations?

Yes. AML obligations govern how your clients use KYC, SOC 2 and ISO programs govern how you operate as a vendor. Banks require both contractual AML oversight and security attestation.

Can AuditOak cover face liveness and document verification controls?

Yes. Our checklists include security, privacy, access, logging, and vendor management controls applicable to IDV pipelines, with evidence examples GRC teams can assign to engineering owners.

How does AuditOak help with bank security questionnaires?

Link questionnaire answers to verified control evidence with version history. Export readiness summaries and evidence bundles aligned to SOC 2 control IDs.
