SOC 2 readiness, without the last-minute scramble.
We take you from zero to an audit-ready SOC 2 posture — the controls designed in, the evidence collecting itself, and an auditor who has nothing to flag.
The five Trust Services Criteria — and the ones you actually need
A SOC 2 report can cover up to five criteria. Security is required; the rest you scope to the promises you make customers. We help you choose, then build to them.
The common criteria every SOC 2 report includes — protection against unauthorized access.
The system is up and accessible as committed — uptime, monitoring and recovery.
Processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely and authorized.
Information designated confidential is protected as you've committed.
Personal information is collected, used and retained per your privacy notice.
Readiness run by the people who'll pass the audit
We don't hand you a policy pack and wish you luck. We build the controls into how you operate and stay through the examination.
We've shipped under audit before — readiness is a process we've run, not a checklist we found.
Security plus availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy — scoped to what you commit to.
Every control points at the artifact that proves it, so the audit becomes an export.
From a point-in-time Type I to a full Type II observation window.
How a SOC 2 engagement works
From a readiness assessment to a clean report — we design the controls, automate the evidence, and stand beside you through the audit.

01Readiness assessment
A gap analysis against the Trust Services Criteria you're scoping, with a clear punch-list of what stands between you and an audit-ready posture.
- Trust criteria scoping
- Gap analysis
- Risk & control matrix
- Prioritized remediation plan
02Control implementation
We design and build the controls — access, change management, monitoring, vendor governance — into how your team actually operates, not on top of it.
- Access & change management
- Monitoring & alerting
- Vendor & risk management
- Policy & procedure set
03Evidence automation
We wire evidence collection into your stack so the proof accumulates on its own across the observation window — no screenshot scramble before the audit.

04Audit support
We run the auditor relationship — from helping you pick a firm to walking them through the evidence — so your team stays focused on the product.
- Auditor selection help

- Alerting
- Uptime monitoring
- On-call runbooks
Vendor management
The subprocessors you depend on, assessed and tracked.

- DPAs & BAAs
- Subprocessor list
Risk assessment
A living risk register, scored and tracked to closure.
- Risk register
- Scoring
- Treatment plans

Incident response
A tested plan for detection, response and communication.

Different reasons to need a report
A blocked enterprise deal, a painful annual renewal, or customers who inherit your posture — we scope the work to whichever one is driving your deadline.
Startups with SOC 2 in the sales cycle
A prospect's procurement team won't move without a SOC 2 report. We get you to a Type I fast to unblock the deal, then to Type II without derailing the roadmap.
- Type I to unblock deals
- Right-sized scope
- Evidence that scales
- Roadmap-friendly rollout
Teams past their first audit
You have a report, but the process is manual and painful every cycle. We automate the evidence and turn SOC 2 into a background process instead of an annual fire drill.
- Evidence automation
- Control optimization
- Continuous monitoring
- Lower audit lift
Vendors your customers depend on
Your SOC 2 report is part of your customers' own compliance story. We make it rigorous, multi-tenant-aware and easy to share.
- Multi-tenant controls
- Customer trust portal
- Subprocessor governance
- Bridge letters
Type I or Type II — which report do you need?
They're not tiers; they answer different questions. We scope to the one your buyers actually ask for — and bridge you from one to the other.
Confirms your controls are designed correctly on a specific date. Faster to reach — good for unblocking a deal that's waiting now.
- Point-in-time
- Weeks, not months
- Unblocks early deals
- Foundation for Type II
Confirms the controls actually operated over a window (typically 3–12 months). The report enterprise buyers really want to see.
- Observation window 3–12 mo
- Proves controls work
- Enterprise-grade
- Renewed annually

Readiness principles we build by
The convictions that keep SOC 2 from becoming a once-a-year project that grinds the team to a halt.
Scope to commitments
We don't gold-plate. You get audited on what you actually promise customers — no more, no less.
Evidence that collects itself
Controls emit evidence automatically, so there's no screenshot scramble the week before the audit.
Controls that fit the team
Compliance that bends to how you build — not a process bolted on top that everyone routes around.
Audit-ready, continuously
Posture holds between audits, so each cycle is a formality instead of a project.
One report, many uses
The same controls answer security questionnaires and map onto your next framework.
Honest readiness
If you're not ready, we say so — and tell you exactly what's left and how long it takes.
SOC 2 readiness FAQ
How long does SOC 2 take?
A Type I can land in weeks once the controls are in place; a Type II needs an observation window, typically 3–12 months. We give you a scoped timeline up front rather than a vague range — the variable is how much remediation your current state needs.
Should we do Type I or Type II first?
Usually a Type I to unblock a deal, then a Type II window right after. Some buyers accept a Type I plus a roadmap; others insist on Type II. We scope to your actual buyers, not the textbook answer.
Do you perform the audit too?
No — and you wouldn't want the same firm doing both. The audit has to be an independent CPA firm. We get you ready, help you choose an auditor, and support you through the examination.
We already use a compliance platform — do we need you?
Platforms collect and monitor evidence; they don't design your access model, change process or architecture. We build the controls the platform then watches. They're complementary, and we'll wire the platform in.
Which criteria should we scope?
Security is required. We add availability, processing integrity, confidentiality or privacy based on the promises in your contracts and the questionnaires your buyers send — scoping wider than that just adds cost and audit surface.
Need a SOC 2 report to close the deal?
Tell us the deadline and the buyer. We'll come back with a scoped path to a clean report — a Type I to unblock now, a Type II to lock it in.
