SOC 2 readiness assessment
Quick context
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 is an attestation report, defined by the AICPA, that shows an independent auditor examined a service organisation's controls against the Trust Services Criteria. It covers Security and, optionally, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. The report gives customers evidence that you protect their data the way you say you do.
Who needs a SOC 2 report?
Service organisations that store, process, or transmit customer data usually need one, especially SaaS and cloud providers selling to other businesses. The trigger is almost always a customer asking for it during procurement. If enterprise buyers are in your pipeline, you'll be asked sooner than you expect.
What does a SOC 2 audit involve?
A licensed CPA firm tests your controls against the selected criteria. A Type I checks that controls are designed properly at a point in time. A Type II checks they also operated effectively across a window of 3 to 12 months. The auditor reviews evidence, interviews staff, and issues an opinion.
Who closes the gaps this finds?
We do. This assessment scores where you stand against the framework, and stops there. The next step is the engagement behind that score: what we audit, what we build, and who runs it. Start there if you would rather have the gaps closed than catalogued.
