Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get SOC 2 certified?
The timeline typically ranges from 4-12 weeks for SOC 2 Type I and 3-6 months for Type II, depending on your current security maturity and the scope of systems involved. Our structured approach helps accelerate this timeline by identifying and addressing gaps early.
What's the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I assesses your security controls at a specific point in time — it's a snapshot. Type II evaluates the operating effectiveness of these controls over a period (typically 3-12 months). Type II is more comprehensive and is what most enterprise clients require.
Do we need to implement all five Trust Service Criteria?
No. Security is mandatory, but Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are optional. We help you determine which criteria are relevant based on your services, customer requirements, and contractual obligations.
How much does SOC 2 compliance cost?
Costs vary based on company size, complexity, and scope. Our service-based approach is typically 30-40% more cost-effective than building an in-house compliance team. We provide transparent pricing after our initial assessment.
What tools do we need to implement?
Tool requirements depend on your current infrastructure. We help you leverage existing tools where possible and recommend cost-effective solutions for gaps. Common additions include SIEM, endpoint protection, and evidence collection platforms.
Can you help us maintain compliance after certification?
Absolutely. SOC 2 requires annual audits and continuous monitoring. We offer ongoing compliance management services including quarterly reviews, control monitoring, evidence collection, and annual audit preparation.
Will SOC 2 compliance help with other frameworks?
Yes. SOC 2 has significant overlap with ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and other frameworks. Our approach is designed to build a foundation that can be extended to multiple compliance requirements, reducing future effort and cost.
