SOC 2 Readiness

SOC 2 without
the consultant tax.

If your prospects keep asking for SOC 2, this is for you. We map trust service criteria to your stack, build the missing controls, automate evidence collection, and walk you through audit. Most clients reach Type 1 in 90 days.

What's included

Everything you need, none of the upsell.

Real deliverables, with the boundaries written down. So you know what you're paying for and what counts as extra.

TSC Mapping

Five criteria, your stack.

Security, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, privacy. Mapped to what you actually run, not a generic template.

Evidence

Collected automatically.

Most evidence can be pulled from existing systems. We wire it up so audit isn't 100 spreadsheets at year-end.

Auditor Mgmt

Pick the right firm.

We've worked with multiple auditors. We recommend matches based on your industry, size, and budget.

Ongoing

Type 1 then Type 2.

Type 1 in 90 days. Type 2 covers the 6 to 12 months after. Continuous evidence collection, not annual scrambles.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Scope.

Decide which trust service criteria are in scope and which systems are in scope. Documented and approved.

Step 02

Gap.

Map controls to TSC. Document gaps with effort estimates and risk impact. Sequenced remediation plan.

Step 03

Remediate.

Implement controls, write policies, deploy evidence collection. Tested by us before the auditor sees them.

Step 04

Audit.

Run the auditor relationship. Walk you through every test, every interview, every artifact request.
