Frequently Asked Questions
SOC 1 focuses on controls relevant to your customers’ internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) (e.g., payroll providers, payment processors).
SOC 2 focuses on controls relevant to the Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy) of customer data (e.g., SaaS, data centers).
A Type 1 report is a snapshot, evaluating the design of your controls at a specific date.
A Type 2 report is more robust, evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of your controls over a period (typically 6-12 months). Most clients, especially enterprise companies, require Type 2. We will help you determine the best fit for your needs.
A Type 1 report can take 2-4 months for readiness and audit. A Type 2 report typically requires a longer observation period (e.g., 6 months) after the 1–3-month readiness phase. We prioritize efficiency without compromising thoroughness.
Yes! A core part of our readiness service is helping you define and document the necessary policies and procedures (e.g., Incident Response, Access Control) to meet the required criteria.
The scope is customized based on your size and complexity (which criteria you select, Type 1 vs. Type 2). We will provide a transparent, upfront quote after our free scoping consultation.
That’s our specialty! We excel at establishing structure, clarity, and well-documented controls for complex or nascent environments.
After our scoping chat and signed agreement, we can typically begin the readiness phase within one week to keep your compliance goals on track.
