Scope and gap assessment
We define the system boundary and which trust services criteria genuinely apply, then assess your current controls against them. You get a plain list of what exists, what is missing, and what only looks like it exists.
SOC 2
Pass SOC 2 without pausing the business to do it.
Prepare for SOC 2 Type I or Type II with controls that hold up, evidence that collects itself, and an introduction to licensed CPA firms in our network.
Discuss this business priority01 When this matters
You may need this outcome when:
A customer, investor, or partner has made SOC 2 a condition of the deal. You have a deadline, an unclear scope, controls that exist informally, and evidence that lives in screenshots and inboxes. Nobody internally has run an examination before, and the firms you have called quote a price without explaining what you actually have to change.
02 The required shift
The business process must improve with the technology.
Each transition connects technical work to a result your organization can see.
01
A compliance project bolted onto the team
→ Controls that run inside normal engineering work 02
Evidence gathered by hand before the audit
→ Evidence produced automatically and continuously 03
Unclear scope and a moving deadline
→ A defined boundary, criteria, and examination date 04
One-time certification pressure
→ A control environment that survives Type II observation03 A practical path
Move from the current problem to a working solution.
The work changes as we learn. Clear decision points keep scope, investment, delivery, and ownership aligned.
Control design and implementation
We implement the technical controls the criteria require and that good engineering needs anyway: access management, change control, logging and monitoring, backup and recovery, vendor review, and incident response. Policies are written to describe what the systems actually do.
Evidence automation
This is where a technology firm differs from a compliance consultancy. We automate evidence collection so proof accumulates continuously rather than being reassembled under deadline, which is what makes a Type II observation window survivable.
CPA introduction and examination support
We do not perform the audit, and no technology firm should claim to: a SOC 2 report must be issued by a licensed CPA firm. We introduce you to independent licensed CPA firms in our network, help you compare scope and fees, and support your team through fieldwork and evidence requests.

05 Common questions
Questions to answer before you invest.
What is the difference between Type I and Type II? +
Type I reports whether your controls are suitably designed at a single point in time. Type II reports whether they operated effectively across an observation window, commonly three to twelve months. Type I is faster and often satisfies an immediate customer requirement; Type II is what most enterprise buyers eventually ask for. Many organizations complete Type I first and roll straight into a Type II window.
Do you issue the SOC 2 report? +
No. A SOC 2 attestation can only be issued by a licensed CPA firm, and any technology vendor suggesting otherwise is describing something that is not a SOC 2 report. We do the readiness and remediation work, then introduce you to independent licensed CPA firms in our network and stay alongside your team through the examination.
Why use an engineering firm for readiness instead of a compliance consultancy? +
Because most SOC 2 findings are engineering problems: access that was never revoked, changes that bypass review, logs nobody retains, backups nobody tests. A compliance consultancy documents the gap. We implement the control and automate the evidence, so the same work that satisfies the examiner also improves how the systems run.
How long does readiness take? +
It depends on the starting point, and we tell you after the gap assessment rather than before. Organizations with reasonable engineering hygiene are often examination-ready in a few months; those starting from informal practice take longer, because real controls have to be implemented rather than written down.
