SOC 2 Compliance

Type I readiness typically takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on how mature your existing controls are. Type II adds an observation period, usually 3 to 12 months, during which the auditor confirms controls operated effectively over time.

A Type I report assesses whether controls are designed appropriately at a single point in time. A Type II report goes further, testing whether those controls operated effectively over an observation period, typically 3 to 12 months. Most enterprise customers ultimately expect a Type II.

Expect meaningful involvement from engineering, IT, and HR during control implementation and evidence collection, tapering off to lighter ongoing maintenance once the program is established. We handle the documentation and auditor coordination so your team can stay focused on day-to-day work.

Yes. Most of our SOC 2 clients have no in-house compliance function. We act as that function for the duration of the engagement, building the program, policies, and evidence trail rather than just advising from the sidelines.

Security is mandatory for every report. Beyond that, scope is driven by the service commitments made to customers — for example, an uptime SLA points toward Availability, and handling sensitive personal data points toward Privacy or Confidentiality.

Most enterprise customers expect an annual Type II report to maintain an active compliance posture. We can structure your evidence program so the renewal each year requires far less effort than the first engagement.
