tHE PROBLEM
You need SOC 2 to close deals.
A customer or investor has asked for a SOC 2 report, and the deal is waiting on it. Nobody on your team has run an audit before, and the people who could are already fully booked.
Most CEOs in this position do one of two things.
We do the work. You approve decisions and sign off.

Who is this for
Founders and CEOs of Fintech, SaaS, Healthtech or AI startups preparing for a first SOC 2 audit, and teams taking over a programme that has stalled inside a compliance platform.
The questions that come up on every first call.
-
How long does SOC 2 take?
Type I is typically 8–12 weeks from kickoff to report. Type II adds an observation window, usually three to twelve months, that runs after your controls are in place.
-
Type I or Type II?
Type I confirms your controls are designed correctly at a point in time. Type II confirms they operated correctly over a period. Most customers eventually want Type II. If a deal is blocked now, Type I gets you a report faster and counts as progress toward Type II.
-
How much of my team's time does this take?
Expect two to four hours a week from an engineering lead during remediation, and roughly an hour a week from you for decisions and sign-off.
-
Do we need a compliance platform?
Not to start. If you already have Vanta, Drata, or TrustCloud, we work inside it. If you don't, we will tell you whether one is worth the cost for your size and stage.
-
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on scope, environment complexity, and engagement level. You can start with a $3k sprint.
