More and more enterprise customers, especially US ones, ask software and service companies for a SOC 2 report before signing. Without it, deals stall in security review.
We help you get ready: design the controls, collect the evidence and fix the gaps, then work alongside the CPA firm that performs your audit.
A SOC report isn’t a certificate and it isn’t issued by a consultant. It’s an attestation report written by an independent, licensed CPA firm after examining your controls. That’s why we’re clear about our role: we prepare you, the CPA firm audits you.
SOC 2 covers the Trust Services Criteria: security always, and availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy if you choose to include them. A Type 1 report looks at whether controls are designed properly on a given date. A Type 2 report tests that they worked over a period, often three to twelve months.
Most companies start with a Type 1 report to unblock deals, then move to Type 2 for the stronger assurance customers ask for. If you’re also considering ISO 27001, tell us. A lot of the work overlaps and doing both together costs less than doing them one after another.
No. Only a licensed CPA firm can. We do the readiness work and help you through the audit.
Type 1 checks that controls are designed properly at a single date. Type 2 tests that they worked over a period of time.
They overlap. SOC 2 is common with US customers, ISO 27001 internationally. Many companies end up with both.
Often two to four months before a Type 1 audit, depending on how mature your controls are.
