How do the value creation principles of subjective value, entrepreneurship and creativity apply in a highly technical rules-based environment like SOC Compliance audits. These are objective validations of data security measures based on customer-defined criteria similar to traditional financial audits but more specific and subjective.

Throughout history, the prevailing narrative surrounding compliance has been one of necessity, not choice, and audits are approached with a sense of inevitability rather than opportunity.

During the audit process, we might identify gaps or control exceptions, but our role encompasses much more than that. 

There is nuance to this question, and other well-meaning and very smart people that I respect might give a different answer. But within the volumes of literature that set the standards, the true answer is this: There are absolutely no control requirements for SOC 2 reports.
