Type II · 6-12 month observation window

Get SOC 2 Type II audited. Required for enterprise B2B.

SOC 2 Type II is the de facto security audit for B2B SaaS. Enterprise buyers ask for it before they sign. The audit covers the Trust Services Criteria over a 6-12 month observation window: a CPA firm tests your security controls and issues a report. Most SaaS companies fail their first audit on policy gaps (no documented incident response, no access reviews, no vendor management). We handle readiness, audit coordination, and ongoing compliance.

How it works

How we handle SOC 2 Audit, end-to-end.

SOC 2 Type II is the de facto security audit for B2B SaaS.

1

Gap assessment

We map your current security posture against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria: access controls, change management, incident response, vendor management, vulnerability management, data classification.

2

Policy + control build

We write the 30+ policies and procedures the audit requires, configure the controls in your environment, and document evidence collection for each control.

3

Observation window

Type II requires evidence of controls operating effectively over 6-12 months. We monitor evidence collection (access reviews, change tickets, training completion) so the audit window produces clean evidence.

4

Audit coordination

We coordinate with the CPA firm performing the audit: walkthrough scheduling, evidence delivery, finding remediation. CPA audit fee is separate ($15K-$45K depending on firm and scope).

FAQ

About the SOC 2 Type II Audit Service.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I: point-in-time assessment confirming controls are designed correctly. Type II: 6-12 month observation window proving controls operate effectively. Enterprise buyers want Type II; Type I is interim signal.
How long does first SOC 2 take?
12-18 months total: 2-3 months readiness, 6-12 months observation window, 1-2 months audit and reporting. After first cert, annual recertification takes 4-6 months.
What does the CPA firm charge?
$15K-$45K depending on firm reputation, scope (number of TSCs), and company complexity. We match scope to budget with multiple firm quotes.
Do I need SOC 2 for early-stage SaaS?
Not until enterprise customers ask. Most companies do not need SOC 2 until they have 5-10 enterprise prospects asking. Early stage: focus on baseline security; pursue SOC 2 when sales velocity warrants the investment.
Can I bridge HIPAA compliance with SOC 2?
Many overlapping controls. HIPAA-compliant orgs need 60-70% of SOC 2 work done. We coordinate dual-program builds for healthcare SaaS targeting both standards.
What if we fail the audit?
Findings get remediated and re-tested. Most first audits have 3-10 findings. The CPA firm gives you a finding window (typically 30-90 days). Significant findings extend the audit; minor findings get fixed in the next cycle.
