SOC 2 Readiness
A critical assessment designed to prepare your organization for a SOC 2 audit
What is it?
SOC 2 readiness is a critical assessment designed to prepare your organization for a SOC 2 audit by focusing on the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
This evaluation ensures that your organization’s controls are not only designed appropriately but are also functioning effectively to safeguard data and maintain compliance with industry standards.
A thorough readiness assessment provides a clear understanding of your current compliance status and highlights areas for improvement, setting the stage for a successful audit.
Our Process
1
Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a thorough review of your organization’s existing policies, procedures, and control environments against the requirements set forth by SOC 2. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand your current compliance posture and identifies any areas that may need strengthening to meet SOC 2 standards.
3
Stakeholder Workshops
Engaging your team through stakeholder workshops is essential for effective preparation. These collaborative sessions raise awareness about SOC 2 requirements and gather valuable insights about current practices. By fostering open communication, we help build a culture of compliance within your organization, ensuring that all team members understand their roles in achieving readiness.
2
Control Mapping
Our team then maps your existing controls to the specific SOC 2 criteria. This step involves identifying any gaps in coverage, ensuring that all relevant Trust Services Criteria are addressed. By providing a clear picture of where your controls stand in relation to SOC 2 requirements, we help you prioritize remediation efforts.
4
Reporting
After completing the assessment, we produce a detailed report summarizing your readiness status. This report outlines areas for improvement, providing a clear roadmap for the next steps in your compliance journey. Our findings are presented in a way that is easily digestible, allowing your team to understand the necessary actions to achieve SOC 2 compliance.
