SOC 2 IN 90 DAYS
SOC 2 ready in 90 days. Without the consultancy theatre.
Most SOC 2 consultancies will quote you 6 months and $40K to get you to readiness. We do it in 90 days for $9K, with the same outcome: a clean audit. The trick is that we treat compliance as engineering work, not paperwork — controls implemented in your stack, evidence collected automatically, auditor briefed by us so you don't waste cycles.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Series A/B SaaS selling to enterprise.
If your sales team is hearing 'send us your SOC 2' and losing deals to it, this is for you. We've taken 12+ Series A/B SaaS startups from zero to SOC 2 Type I in 90 days. Most go on to Type II within 6 months of continuous monitoring. The work is the same — what changes is whether you treat it as a one-time forced march or as engineering practice.
THE 90-DAY PLAN
Four phases. Predictable timeline.
- Week 1-2
Gap analysis & scope
We map your current state against SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria (Security, plus optionally Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy). Output: a written gap report with concrete remediation effort estimates per control.
- Week 3-6
Controls implementation
We implement the technical controls in your stack: access management, encryption, logging, change management, vulnerability management. Plus the policy & procedure pack — customized to your reality, not boilerplate templates.
- Week 7-10
Evidence automation
We wire Vanta or Drata to collect evidence continuously: AWS configs, GitHub permissions, employee onboarding checklists. Once this is set up, evidence collection is on autopilot for Type II later.
- Week 11-13
Audit prep & handoff
We introduce you to a vetted CPA firm (we get you 30-50% off list price), prep the audit response packet, and sit in on the auditor kickoff. Most audits take 4-6 weeks after this hand-off.
WHAT YOU GET
Concrete deliverables.
- Written gap analysis (~30 pages) mapped to TSC
- Customized policy pack: Information Security, Access Control, Incident Response, Change Management, Vendor Risk
- Technical controls implemented in your AWS / GCP / Azure environment
- Vanta or Drata fully configured with continuous evidence collection
- Auditor introduction with negotiated rate
- Audit response playbook + Q&A prep
- Optional: HIPAA or GDPR add-ons (additional $4-7K each)
WHAT WE DON'T DO
Honest about limits.
We are not a CPA firm. We don't issue the SOC 2 attestation report — that's the auditor's job, by regulatory design. We get you to readiness; the auditor signs off on the audit. This separation is required by SOC 2 standards (independence rule), so any consultant who promises both is misrepresenting.
FAQ
Common questions. Honest answers.
Why is this $9K when other consultancies charge $30-50K?
Three reasons: (1) we're a startup with low overhead, not a big-name consultancy passing brand premium to clients, (2) we're selective — we only take SaaS engagements where the foundation is reasonable; we don't accept brownfield rescue for $9K, (3) we've productized the policy pack and Vanta/Drata setup, so we're not reinventing the wheel each engagement. Same outcome, lower margin per engagement, more engagements.
Will we pass the audit?
For Type I, yes — readiness is the controllable variable, and at handoff your gap report is already cleared. For Type II, you need 3-6 months of continuous evidence after readiness, which is why we set up Vanta/Drata: to make that 3-6 months passive, not painful.
Which auditor do you recommend?
Depends on your stack and customer base. We have working relationships with Prescient Assurance, Insight Assurance and A-LIGN — all reputable, all offer 30-50% discounts to our referrals. We don't take referral kickbacks; the discount goes fully to you.
Can you do HIPAA and GDPR too?
Yes — same engagement, additional $4-7K each depending on scope. HIPAA is mostly an extension of SOC 2 Security + Privacy. GDPR is more about data flow documentation and DSAR processes. We can stack all three in a single 90-day sprint.
What if we already have some controls in place?
Great — that lowers the gap analysis output and we can compress the controls-implementation phase. We adjust the price down accordingly. Send us your existing security policies before the call and we'll come prepared with a faster timeline estimate.
Do you handle Type II monitoring after readiness?
Yes, as an optional retainer ($800/mo) for the 3-6 months between readiness and Type II audit. We monitor Vanta/Drata, respond to evidence gaps, and ensure your team doesn't accidentally break a control mid-quarter.
