SOC 2 Readiness

Prepare for SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2 with a practical program: we map the Trust Services Criteria to your environment, right-size controls, and automate evidence capture inside Microsoft 365 so audit feels lighter.

Why SOC 2, done right

Buyer confidence

Shortens security reviews and unlocks enterprise sales.

Maps to reality

Controls aligned to how your cloud, data and access actually work.

Less manual effort

Automations pull artefacts from M365, Azure and your dev toolchain.

Deliverables

Gap & roadmap

Scope (system boundary), risk profile & TSC mapping (Security, Availability, Confidentiality — plus Processing Integrity/Privacy as needed). Prioritised plan with quick wins.

System description draft (per SSAE 18)
Risk register & control matrix
Readiness score & timeline

Controls & monitoring

Implement or refine controls and wire telemetry where practical (Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Purview, Azure, CI/CD).

Access, change & vendor management
Secure SDLC: PRs, scans, pipeline gates
Logging, alerting & ticket workflows

Audit-ready evidence

Repeatable exports and screenshots filed in SharePoint with retention & versions. Interview coaching and sample request (PBC) support.

Monthly evidence runs (automated where possible)
Type 1 “as-of” or Type 2 period packs
Walkthrough & sampling prep

Type 1 vs Type 2 — what’s the difference?

Type 1 (design)

A point-in-time opinion on whether your control design is suitable.

Faster first report for buyers
Great for new environments
Often step 1 before Type 2

Type 2 (design & operating)

Covers both control design and operating effectiveness over a period (e.g., 3–12 months).

Stronger trust signal for enterprises
Requires consistent evidence cadence
We run the monthly rhythm with you

Automate evidence inside Microsoft 365

We keep your evidence where your team already works. Power Automate/Graph pull snapshots from Entra ID, Defender, Intune, Azure and GitHub/Azure DevOps. Artefacts land in SharePoint with retention and versioning.

Access reviews

Privileged roles, MFA posture, SSO apps.

Change control

Pull requests, approvals, release notes.

Security events

EDR alerts & Sentinel queries.

Vendor evidence

SOC reports, SLAs & pen test summaries.

Typical timeline

Weeks 1–2: Scope, system description, TSC mapping, plan • Weeks 3–6: Control build, monitoring, evidence cadence • Weeks 7–8: Readiness review & Type 1 report (or start Type 2 period) • Ongoing: Monthly evidence runs & audit liaison
