SOC 2 compliance

SOC 2 without the audit-season scramble

Enterprise buyers ask for a SOC 2 report before they sign. We build the controls, run them every day and collect the evidence automatically, so your Type II window is a formality instead of a fire drill.

What it is

SOC 2 in plain English

SOC 2 is an attestation report issued by a licensed CPA firm under the AICPA’s SSAE 18 standard. It reports on your controls against the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy.

A Type I report looks at control design on a single date; a Type II report tests that controls operated effectively over a period, usually 3–12 months. Most enterprise customers expect Type II.

FAQ

SOC 2 FAQ

How long does SOC 2 take?

A Type I can be ready in roughly 4–8 weeks. A Type II needs an observation period of 3–12 months after controls are in place.

Do you perform the audit?

No. SOC 2 reports must be issued by an independent CPA firm. We prepare you, operate the controls and support the audit, and can introduce audit partners.

Can SOC 2 and ISO 27001 share the work?

Yes. Most controls overlap, so we design one program and map it to both.
