Full SOC 2 implementation from readiness assessment to audit. We don't just write policies and hand you a checklist. We actually configure your cloud infrastructure, deploy every technical control, and get you through the audit. When we say "engineering-led," we mean the same team that architects your AWS environment is the team implementing your SOC 2 controls. That means IAM policies, encryption configuration, centralized logging, and monitoring are handled by people who do this work every day, not compliance analysts reading from a playbook. The result is a faster timeline, fewer gaps, and controls that actually hold up under scrutiny.
Take Our Free SOC 2 Assessment→You're in the final stages of a deal, maybe it's your first enterprise customer or maybe it's a Fortune 500, and the security questionnaire just landed. They want to see your SOC 2 report and you don't have one. You said "we're working on it," and now the clock is ticking. Every week without a report is a week that deal sits in limbo, and your champion on the other side is losing internal credibility. We've seen companies lose six- and seven-figure contracts over this. The good news: this is fixable, and it's fixable faster than you think.
Your board brought it up last quarter, and it came up again this quarter. They know SOC 2 is a competitive moat that unlocks enterprise sales, reduces security questionnaire burden, and signals operational maturity to customers and partners. They also know that every month without it is a month where a competitor with a SOC 2 report has an advantage. You need a team that can execute fast, not a consultant who hands you a checklist and disappears for six months.
A customer or prospect sent you a 200-question security questionnaire, and you realized you can't answer half of it honestly. You don't have formal access controls, your logging is minimal, your policies exist in someone's head but not on paper, and you're not sure if your data is encrypted at rest. This is more common than you'd think, and most growing SaaS companies are in this position. The questionnaire is actually a gift: it's showing you exactly what you need to fix. We'll get you from "we're working on it" to "here's our SOC 2 report."
Hands you policy templates and a checklist
We write policies customized to your actual operations AND implement every technical control in your infrastructure, including IAM policies, encryption, logging, the works
Recommends compliance tools, sends you a setup guide
We configure Vanta or Drata end-to-end: connect your cloud provider, identity provider, HR system, and every integration. We map controls and verify evidence collection is working.
Points out gaps in a PDF report, leaves you to figure out the fixes
We fix the gaps ourselves: IAM policies, encryption at rest and in transit, centralized logging, monitoring and alerting, network segmentation, and backup procedures
Availability drops off as the audit approaches
We sit in the room with your auditor (virtually), handle every question, provide evidence in real time, and resolve findings on the spot
3-6 month timelines with vague milestones
8-12 weeks for Type I with a detailed week-by-week project plan and clear deliverables at every stage
Compliance analysts with GRC backgrounds but no engineering depth
Engineers who build and secure cloud infrastructure every day. The same people writing your Terraform are configuring your SOC 2 controls
We start with a thorough review of your current environment, including cloud architecture, access controls, logging, policies, and vendor management. We interview key stakeholders, review your existing documentation (if any), and map your current state against SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. The output is a detailed gap analysis with a prioritized remediation roadmap and effort estimates for every item.
We help you choose between Vanta, Drata, and other compliance platforms based on your tech stack and budget. We handle the full setup: connecting your AWS/GCP/Azure account, identity provider (Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD), HR system, version control, and any other integrations. Every control is mapped to the platform and automated evidence collection is verified.
We write all required policies and procedures: Information Security, Access Control, Change Management, Incident Response, Risk Assessment, Acceptable Use, Data Classification, Vendor Management, and more. These are customized to your actual operations, not generic templates with your logo slapped on. Every policy is written to be enforceable and auditable.
This is where most consultancies stop. They’ve told you what’s wrong, and now it’s your problem. We actually fix the gaps. That means configuring IAM policies for least-privilege access, enabling encryption at rest and in transit across all services, deploying centralized logging and monitoring, implementing network segmentation, configuring backup procedures, and hardening your CI/CD pipeline.
We deploy and verify every control in your cloud environment. This isn’t checkbox compliance. We run automated tests to verify controls are actually working, not just documented. We configure alerts for control failures so you know immediately if something drifts out of compliance.
We prepare all evidence packages for the auditor, verify that automated collection through your compliance platform is capturing everything correctly, and do a comprehensive pre-audit review. We catch gaps before the auditor does. This phase typically takes 1-2 weeks and is the difference between a smooth audit and one that drags on for months.
We work directly with your auditor through the entire audit process. We handle auditor questions, provide evidence packages, schedule walkthroughs, and resolve any findings in real time. Most of our clients get through the audit with zero or minimal findings because we’ve been thorough in the preparation phases.
From kickoff to a signed audit report. We manage the timeline so you can focus on your business.
We design every control for long-term effectiveness, not just a one-time audit pass.

Primary Focus
Type I & Type II, our primary focus. Full implementation from gap assessment through audit completion. We handle the technical controls that other consultancies can't.
Healthcare
Compliant infrastructure design and implementation for healthtech applications. BAA-ready environments, PHI handling procedures, and technical safeguards configured in your cloud environment.
International
Information security management system implementation. Particularly relevant for companies selling into European markets or organizations that want a comprehensive security framework.
Data Privacy
Data protection controls for companies serving EU customers. Data processing agreements, privacy controls, right-to-deletion workflows, and data residency configuration.
Type I typically takes 8-12 weeks from kickoff to a signed audit report. The first 2-3 weeks are assessment and planning, weeks 3-8 are remediation and control implementation, and the final 2-4 weeks are evidence collection, pre-audit review, and the audit itself. Type II requires a 3-6 month observation period after your Type I. During this period, your controls need to be operating effectively while the auditor reviews evidence. We plan for Type II from day one, meaning every control we implement is designed for long-term operation, not just a one-time pass. Total timeline from starting fresh to having both Type I and Type II reports is typically 6-9 months.
Our engagements typically range from $30K-$75K depending on complexity, environment size, and scope. This includes everything: readiness assessment, gap analysis, technical remediation, policy writing, compliance platform configuration, evidence preparation, and full audit support. The compliance platform itself (Vanta, Drata, or Secureframe) runs $10K-$25K/year depending on your company size, and auditor fees typically range from $15K-$30K for Type I. So your all-in first-year cost including our engagement, the platform, and the auditor is typically $55K-$130K. We provide a detailed fixed-price proposal after the assessment phase so you know the exact cost before committing.
We strongly recommend a compliance automation platform. It’s the single highest-leverage investment in your SOC 2 program. These platforms automate 60-80% of evidence collection, continuously monitor your controls, and significantly reduce the manual effort required for ongoing compliance. We’re experienced with both Vanta and Drata and can help you choose based on your tech stack, budget, and specific requirements. Without a platform, you’ll be collecting evidence manually, tracking control effectiveness in spreadsheets, and spending significantly more time preparing for each audit cycle. The platform typically pays for itself within the first audit cycle through time savings alone.
We pick up wherever you are, and we’re not going to make you start over. Whether you have a compliance platform partially configured, some policies written but not all, a gap analysis from another firm that you don’t know how to act on, or controls that are partially implemented, we’ll assess your current state and build a plan to close the remaining gaps. About 30% of our clients come to us after starting with another consultancy that delivered policy templates but couldn’t help with technical implementation. We integrate with your existing work rather than replacing it.
Yes, and we plan for it from the beginning of every engagement. The difference between Type I and Type II is that Type I evaluates control design at a point in time, while Type II evaluates control effectiveness over an observation period (typically 3-6 months). Every control we implement is designed for sustained operation, not just a one-time check. After your Type I audit, we manage the observation period: monitoring control effectiveness, addressing any issues that arise, and preparing evidence for the Type II audit. We’ve never had a client pass Type I and fail Type II because we build for the long term from day one.
SOC 2 is not a one-time event. You need to maintain your controls and renew your report annually. We offer annual renewal packages that include continuous control monitoring, quarterly evidence reviews, policy updates (regulations and best practices change), employee security awareness training coordination, and full audit support for your renewal audit. The renewal process is significantly lighter than the initial engagement because the foundation is already in place. Most renewal engagements run 4-6 weeks and cost 40-60% of the initial engagement. We also handle any changes to your environment throughout the year, including new services, new vendors, and team changes, to make sure your controls stay current.

Start the AssessmentMost of our clients don't stop at compliance. The same security gaps that triggered your SOC 2 initiative often point to broader infrastructure needs, like cloud architecture that needs hardening, platforms that need to scale for the enterprise customers your SOC 2 report will unlock. We built their platform, optimized their cloud infrastructure, and got them SOC 2 certified. One partner for the full journey, from first line of code to a signed audit report.
