We run the full readiness program for SaaS teams 20–200 employees: gap analysis, policy library, control implementation, GRC platform setup, evidence automation, and the pen test your auditor will ask for — all under one fixed price. When you're ready, we hand you off to our partner CPA firm for the audit itself. You get a Type I or Type II report; we don't pretend to issue it.
Twenty+ SOC 2-mapped policies (information security, access control, change management, vendor management, incident response, BCP/DR, etc.) — tailored to your stack, ready to adopt.
We map every Trust Service Criterion (CC1 through CC9) to a concrete control in your environment, then implement it — access reviews, MFA enforcement, vendor monitoring, change controls, logging, the full set.
We set up the GRC platform that automatically pulls evidence from AWS / GCP / Azure / GitHub / Okta / Slack — so when the auditor asks, it's already there. No frantic week-of-audit screenshots.
Formal risk register: identify, score, treat. Documented and SOC 2-format-compliant.
Quarterly access review automation. Sub-processor inventory. SLAs & SOC 2 reports collected from your vendors (we chase them; you don't).
We refer you to a vetted CPA firm that runs the actual Type I / Type II audit. They issue the SOC 2 report; we make sure you sail through it.
Define audit scope, services, customer commitments. Provision the GRC platform. Map your existing tooling to controls.
Day 1–14Adapt the policy library to your business. Implement gaps (MFA, logging, access reviews, vendor inventory). Train your team.
Day 15–56The GRC platform starts collecting evidence automatically. We close any remaining gaps. Risk assessment finalized.
Day 57–77Hand off to the CPA audit firm. They issue Type I (point-in-time) immediately, or you continue 90 days to a Type II (operating effectiveness).
Day 78+For early-stage SaaS chasing their first SOC 2 to unblock a customer or investor.
For Series-A SaaS with a real engineering org chasing enterprise contracts that need SOC 2.
Larger orgs, multi-product, multi-entity, or SOC 2 + ISO 27001 stacked. Quoted per scope.
Ongoing compliance retainer — $1,499/month. After your initial readiness, optionally subscribe to ongoing management. We keep evidence flowing, run your quarterly access reviews, manage vendor reviews, handle ad-hoc auditor follow-ups, and prep you for each annual re-audit. Cancel anytime.
What's not included. The CPA audit firm's fee (typically $8,000–$18,000 for Type II) is paid directly to the audit firm. We refer; they audit. This separation is mandated by SOC 2 — the readiness firm and the audit firm cannot be the same entity.
No — and no readiness firm legally can. Only a licensed CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report. We prepare you to pass the audit; the CPA firm we refer you to runs the actual audit and issues the report. This separation is mandated by AICPA standards. We work with a small set of CPA firms that specialize in SaaS SOC 2 audits (typically $8k–$18k for Type II).
Type I says "your controls are designed correctly" at a single point in time. Quick (days). Cheaper. Good for unblocking one specific customer who'll accept it.
Type II says "your controls actually operated effectively over a period of time" (3–12 months). What real enterprise procurement teams want. More valuable. Our 90-day readiness gets you to Type I; from there you continue collecting evidence for 90+ more days to get a Type II.
Your choice — Sprinto, Drata, Vanta, or Secureframe. We're partners with each. Our default recommendation for early-stage SaaS is Sprinto (lower cost, faster setup, good for first SOC 2). For larger or US-focused customers, Drata or Vanta have stronger US auditor integrations. Platform license is bundled into our flat fee.
If your prospects/customers are asking for it: yes. SOC 2 has become table-stakes for B2B SaaS sales above ~$30k ACV. The investment ($6k readiness + $10k audit = ~$16k) typically unblocks 5x–10x that in deals within 12 months. If no customer has asked, you probably don't need it yet — focus on the automated security assessment first and revisit SOC 2 when procurement starts asking.
Vanta and Drata sell you the platform. You still need to: write the policies, interpret the criteria, implement controls, run access reviews, prep the audit, handle auditor questions. That's 100–200 hours of someone-on-your-team time. We do that work — you give us access to your tooling, we deliver SOC 2 readiness as a service. The platform is bundled into our fee.
If our readiness work was the cause (we missed a control, our policy was non-compliant, our evidence was inadequate), we remediate at no additional cost and you re-audit on us. We've never had this happen, but the guarantee is part of every Standard-tier engagement.
After your initial readiness, you can optionally subscribe to ongoing compliance support. We continue to run your quarterly access reviews, manage vendor reviews + SOC 2 report collection, handle ad-hoc auditor questions, and prep you for each annual re-audit. Cancel anytime via the billing portal. Most customers stay subscribed because the alternative — letting SOC 2 lapse and re-doing readiness — is more expensive.
No. SOC 2 readiness is sold standalone. That said, most SOC 2 audits require a pen test in the audit period — so customers often bundle our Continuous Security ($999/mo) with SOC 2 readiness. Same vendor, same trust relationship, one less procurement cycle.
