Get SOC 2 certified, fast.
The auditor-issued attestation that your buyers' security teams ask for first.
The plain-English version.
SOC 2 is an AICPA attestation report assessing how your company handles five Trust Services Criteria, security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Type I is point-in-time. Type II covers a 6-12 month observation window.
- Type I in 30-60 days
- Type II in 6 months
- AICPA-licensed audit network
Three lanes, readiness, implementation, audit support.
Readiness
Gap assessment against SOC 2. Concrete plan with owners, dates, and effort.
Implementation
Policies, controls, evidence pipelines built into Vanta. AI drafts, experts review.
Audit support
We sit beside you in audit interviews and respond to evidence requests.
From kickoff to certification.
Kickoff
Slack channel live. Scope, stakeholders, baseline.
Readiness
Gaps closed, policies signed, evidence flowing.
Audit prep
Mock audit, control narratives, auditor selection.
Audit
External audit closed. Letter or report in hand.
“The Trust Architects ran our SOC 2 program end to end. We touched it for sign-off and stakeholder review. Everything else was on rails.”
SOC 2 questions we hear weekly.
How long does SOC 2 take?
Most customers complete a first audit in 60-90 days from kickoff. Larger programs run 4-6 months.
What does it cost?
Our retainer plus the external auditor's fee. We size it to your stage on the first call.
Do we need new tooling?
Vanta is our default. We can also work on Drata or Secureframe. No tooling change required if you're already on a platform.
Who runs the audit?
An independent AICPA-qualified auditor. We have preferred firms in Brazil, the US, and Europe.
Will this stand up to enterprise scrutiny?
Yes. We design programs that pass not only the audit but also the buyer's security team review afterward.
