SOC 2 Readiness

If you are selling to enterprise customers, a SOC 2 report is increasingly a condition of the engagement.

What is SOC 2 and why does it matter?

SOC 2 is a security audit framework developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It assesses whether your systems and controls meet the Trust Services Criteria — a set of requirements across Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy.

Enterprise customers increasingly require a SOC 2 report as a condition of vendor approval. It is the standard due-diligence document for B2B SaaS companies.

Type I versus Type II

1. Type I assesses whether your controls are designed appropriately at a point in time. Faster to achieve, useful as an initial signal to enterprise prospects.
2. Type II assesses whether your controls operated effectively over a review period (typically 6 to 12 months). More meaningful to sophisticated buyers and required for some categories of customer.

Most organisations start with a Type I audit and plan the Type II on a 12-month cycle.
