Frequently Asked Questions

What is SOC 2 compliance?

SOC 2 is an auditing standard, developed by the AICPA, that evaluates how a service organization manages customer data based on the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Many enterprise buyers require a current SOC 2 report before signing, making it a common prerequisite for selling into security-conscious markets.

What's the difference between a SOC 2 Type I and Type II report?

A Type I report evaluates whether your controls are designed appropriately at a single point in time, while a Type II report evaluates whether those controls actually operated effectively over an observation period. Type II is generally considered the stronger assurance, since it demonstrates sustained operation rather than a design snapshot.

How long does a SOC 2 Type II observation period take?

A SOC 2 Type II observation period is typically three to twelve months, during which an auditor reviews evidence that your controls operated consistently. Shorter windows are common for a first Type II report, with many organizations extending toward a twelve-month period in subsequent annual audits as their control environment matures.

Who performs a SOC 2 audit?

A SOC 2 audit must be performed by a licensed CPA firm accredited to conduct these engagements, not by an internal team or a general consultancy. SOC 2 Readiness helps you select the right CPA firm for your organization and manages the auditor relationship throughout the engagement, so your team can stay focused on building rather than audit logistics.
