SOC 2 readiness for SaaS companies
SOC 2 is usually the first serious security question an enterprise buyer asks. We get you audit-ready with controls your engineers will actually maintain, then keep renewals from turning into an annual fire drill.
Who this applies to
Any SaaS or service company whose customers ask "can we see your SOC 2 report?" during procurement, typically once you're selling to mid-market or enterprise buyers. SOC 2 isn't legally required anywhere, but it's become the default proof that you take security seriously.
Type I vs. Type II
Type I
A point-in-time review confirming your controls are designed correctly. Faster to get, useful as an early proof point, but weaker evidence than Type II.
Type II
Confirms your controls actually operated correctly over an observation window, typically 3 to 12 months. This is what most enterprise buyers actually want to see.
Both are built against the Trust Services Criteria: Security is mandatory, and Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy are added based on what your product actually does. An independent CPA firm issues the report; we prepare you for that audit, we don't perform it.

Auditor coordination
Evidence organization and a point of contact for your audit firm so the observation period runs smoothly the first time.
Frequently asked questions
How long does SOC 2 actually take?
Type I can be a few months from control design to report. Type II adds the observation window itself, usually 3 to 12 months, on top of remediation time before that window starts.
Do we need Type I before Type II?
Not required, but often useful. A Type I gives you an early sales asset and catches design gaps before you're being watched over a multi-month window.
Why does renewal feel so painful every year?
Usually because the first year's evidence was gathered ad hoc and never turned into a repeatable process. We build a control-to-evidence map from day one so renewals reuse what you already produce instead of starting over.
