SOC 2 Basics

Type I or Type II?

Most companies start with one and grow into the other. We'll help you pick the right starting point for your customers and timeline.

SOC 2 Type I Point in time

  • Evaluates whether your controls are designed properly on a specific date
  • Faster to achieve, a common first step
  • Good for unblocking early enterprise deals

SOC 2 Type II Over time

  • Evaluates whether controls operated effectively over an observation period, typically 3 to 12 months
  • The report most enterprise buyers ultimately ask for
  • Requires consistent, ongoing evidence of your controls in action

The Trust Services Criteria

Security is required in every SOC 2. The others are added based on what you promise customers.

Security (required) Availability Confidentiality Processing Integrity Privacy

SOC 2 reports are issued by independent, licensed CPA firms. Corvus Forge prepares you for the audit and supports you through it, and we can introduce you to audit firms that fit your size and budget.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does it take to get SOC 2 ready?

It depends on where you're starting. Companies with some security practices in place can often be Type I ready in a few months. A Type II also requires an observation period, typically 3 to 12 months, after controls are in place. Our readiness assessment gives you a realistic timeline for your situation.

Do you perform the actual SOC 2 audit?

No. Only an independent CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report, and keeping preparation separate from the audit protects your report's independence. We get you ready, support you during the audit, and can recommend audit firms.

We already use a compliance automation platform. Do we still need help?

Often, yes. Automation tools are great at collecting evidence, but someone still has to scope the audit, write policies that fit your business, implement controls, and handle auditor questions. We work alongside the tool you already use.

Which Trust Services Criteria should we include?

Security is always included. Whether to add Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, or Privacy depends on your product and what your customers need. We'll help you scope it so you don't take on more than necessary.

Can you help after we get our report?

Yes. SOC 2 is an annual commitment. Our continuous compliance support keeps your controls running and your evidence organized, so each renewal is smoother than the last.
