Compliance Framework
SOC 2 Type II
An audit framework (not a government regulation) that's become the default trust signal enterprise B2B customers require from software vendors.
Who it applies to
SaaS and software vendors selling to enterprise customers, who increasingly require a SOC 2 report before signing — it's a customer-driven requirement more than a legal one.
What it requires
- —Documented, consistently-followed controls across the Trust Services Criteria you scope in: security is mandatory, availability/confidentiality/processing integrity/privacy are optional depending on what you claim
- —Type II specifically means those controls were observed operating effectively over a period (commonly 3-12 months), not just designed correctly at one point in time
- —An independent audit by a licensed CPA firm — this is the part no vendor, including us, can issue for you
How we approach it
We help get the technical controls in place that a SOC 2 audit will actually test — access logging, change management, incident response procedures — early enough that the audit period can start sooner. The audit and report itself is issued by an accredited third-party auditor, not us; we're upfront about that distinction with every client who asks.
FAQs
How long does it take to get SOC 2 certified?
The Type II observation period alone is typically 3-12 months, on top of however long it takes to actually implement the controls being observed. Starting the technical work early, before you're under sales pressure to have a report in hand, is the single biggest lever on timeline.
