FAQ
What is included in your SOC 2 readiness assessment?
I assess your organization's cybersecurity controls against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, identify compliance gaps, evaluate potential risks, and provide practical recommendations to improve your audit readiness. The scope depends on the package you select.
Can you guarantee that my company will pass a SOC 2 audit?
No. A SOC 2 audit is performed by an independent CPA firm based on the evidence and controls in place during the audit period. However, my assessment helps identify weaknesses early so you can address them before the formal audit, significantly improving your readiness.
Do you perform both SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 readiness assessments?
Yes. I can help prepare your organization for either a SOC 2 Type 1 or SOC 2 Type 2 audit by reviewing your controls and identifying areas that require improvement.
Is this service suitable for startups?
Absolutely. Many startups pursue SOC 2 compliance to meet customer security requirements, close enterprise deals, or satisfy investor due diligence. My service is designed for startups, SaaS businesses, cloud providers, and technology companies of all sizes.
What if my company has never started SOC 2 compliance?
That's perfectly fine. I can assess your current environment, explain where you stand, identify what's missing, and provide a clear roadmap to help you begin your SOC 2 compliance journey.
Do I need to have security policies already written?
No. If you already have policies, I'll review them as part of the assessment. If you don't, I'll identify what's missing and recommend the policies and controls you'll need for SOC 2 readiness.
Do you provide remediation or implementation of security controls?
This gig focuses on assessing your cybersecurity controls and providing recommendations. If you need additional guidance on implementing improvements, we can discuss that as a custom service.
Which businesses can benefit from this service?
This service is ideal for SaaS companies, cloud service providers, software companies, technology startups, managed service providers (MSPs), fintech companies, healthcare technology companies, and any organization preparing for SOC 2 compliance.
