Compliance & Advisory
SOC 2 is the enterprise buyer’s minimum bar. Without it, you are losing deals you never even knew you were in. We get you to Type II faster — with controls that actually protect your business, not just satisfy a checklist.
About This Service
SOC 2 is the most trusted security compliance framework for SaaS and technology companies operating in the US market. A SOC 2 Type II report demonstrates to enterprise customers that your security controls are effective and consistently applied over time.

Why Us
Our compliance consultants have hands-on security backgrounds. We have run penetration tests, built ISMS programmes, and worked in regulated environments. We give you guidance that reflects real operational security — not generic templates lifted from a compliance checklist tool.
Everything we produce — gap analysis, risk assessments, policy suites, evidence packs — is structured for the actual audit process. We know what auditors ask for because we have been through these audits with clients before.
We scope every compliance engagement clearly and quote a fixed fee. If the scope doesn’t change, the price doesn’t change. You will always know what you are getting and what it costs before we begin.
Most compliance firms don’t test security. Most security firms don’t do compliance. We do both — which means we can identify the real security gaps in your environment and help you build controls that satisfy your framework requirements at the same time.

FAQ
SOC 2 Type I assesses whether your controls are suitably designed at a point in time. SOC 2 Type II assesses whether those controls operated effectively over an observation period (typically 3–12 months). Enterprise customers generally require Type II.
The Security criterion (CC) is mandatory for all SOC 2 reports. The other four — Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy — are selected based on your services and customer commitments.
A Type I report typically takes 3–6 months from readiness assessment to report issuance. A Type II report requires an observation period of 3–12 months on top of that.
SOC 2 is not a legal mandate, but it is effectively required in the US enterprise market. Many enterprise procurement teams will not sign contracts without a current SOC 2 Type II report.
