SOC 2 Type 1 Readiness Sprint
Audit-ready in 6 weeks. Not 12 months.
A compressed readiness sprint for SOC 2 Type 1. We pick a framework (Vanta / Drata / Secureframe), wire your stack into it, write the policies that actually match how you operate, close the gaps that block the audit, and prep your team for the auditor walk-through. You bring the auditor; we get you ready for them.
Concrete artifacts you keep.
Every line below ships during the engagement. No “TBDs”, no slide-deck hand-waving — working code, written docs, and dashboards your team owns.
The outcome, not just the output.
- Vanta / Drata / Secureframe fully wired
- Policy library written for your real ops (not stock templates)
- Gap remediation list closed
- Vendor inventory + DPA tracking
- Audit-ready evidence collection running

“Cut our flake rate from 12% to 0.4% in three weeks. The eval suite caught two regressions on day one of running in CI.”
Common questions
- Why Type 1 first?
- Type 1 proves your controls are designed correctly. Type 2 proves they have been operating over 6+ months. You need Type 1 done before the Type 2 observation window starts.
- Which platform should we pick?
- Honest answer: any of the three works. We help you pick based on your stack — Vanta has the deepest integration library, Drata has the cleanest UX, Secureframe is the cheapest. We get a kickback from none of them.
- How long until the actual SOC 2 report?
- Type 1: 1–2 months after readiness completes. Type 2: 6–9 months after Type 1. We can roll into a compliance retainer to bridge that gap.
