ZERO TO AUDIT READY
What does a Thoropass implementation partner do?
A Thoropass service partner handles the readiness and remediation work that the audit firm itself is not permitted to perform. Thoropass is unusual among compliance vendors in being a licensed CPA firm as well as a platform; it delivers the audit itself rather than handing you off to a third-party assessor.
But an auditor cannot design, implement, or remediate the controls it will later issue an opinion on without compromising its independence.
That work — control design, policy authoring, gap remediation, evidence preparation, and internal readiness review — is what CloudSapio provides,
across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
THE HONEST VERSION
The one-vendor model solves a real problem but creates a specific gap
Most compliance stacks make you assemble the pieces: buy the automation platform, then find an audit firm, then hope the two talk to each other. Evidence gets duplicated. The auditor asks for things in a format the platform doesn't produce. You manage the seam between them.
Thoropass removes that seam by being both. Its platform manages the audit lifecycle from readiness through final reporting, with evidence collection, control management, and auditor collaboration in one place and it maps overlapping controls across frameworks so pursuing SOC 2 and HITRUST together doesn't mean doing the work twice. For companies chasing multiple certifications, that's a genuine structural advantage.
What it doesn't remove is the work before the audit. Somebody still has to decide which controls apply, write policies that reflect what your engineers actually do, fix the findings, and tell you honestly whether you're ready — and by design, that somebody can't be your auditor. Most companies discover this after they've signed, when they realise the platform has told them what's missing but nobody is going to fix it for them.
That's the seat we sit in.
TIMELINE
What the calendar
actually looks like.
Type I is a design opinion — it lands fast. Type II needs an observation window, and that window runs itself as long as someone is watching the alerts.
Three ways in. Same certification at the end.
We build the compliance program end-to-end and hand Thoropass an audit that's ready to run. Control design, policy authoring, gap remediation with your engineers, evidence preparation, and a readiness review before fieldwork opens. You get a bi-weekly update and only the decisions that genuinely need you.
Best for teams with no dedicated security hire.
You own the day-to-day; we own the framework and the judgment calls. We design the control set, train your team on the platform, and stay on call for the questions that stall progress between now and the audit.
Best for teams with no dedicated security hire.
You're already in the Thoropass process. We come in for scope decisions, failed-control remediation, pre-fieldwork readiness reviews, and the findings you'd rather resolve before the auditor formalises them.
Best for teams that just need a compliance brain to call.

WHAT YOU GET
Every line below is something
we’re accountable for.
Implemented against your actual environment.
We connect TrustCloud to your cloud accounts, code repositories, identity provider, HR system, and endpoints, then configure controls to how your company genuinely operates — not to a generic template you'll spend six months correcting.
Policy governance that runs itself.
Policies get reviewed, versioned, and re-acknowledged on schedule rather than the week before fieldwork. We author the set, map it to your controls, and configure the governance cadence.
Security questionnaires stop landing on your CTO.
TrustCloud automates responses to inbound security reviews from an answer library built on your real posture. We build that library, keep it current, and handle the questions the automation escalates. This is where the recurring hours actually go.
We manage the auditor, too
Auditor selection, scope negotiation, team preparation, and the back-and-forth through fieldwork. Most implementation vendors hand you off here — it's where timelines usually slip.
Frameworks
One platform. The certifications
your buyers keep asking about.
SOC 2 Type I & II
The default enterprise procurement requirement in North America. Type I proves design; Type II proves it held over time.
ISO 27001
The international equivalent — usually what European and global enterprise buyers ask for.
HIPAA
Required if you touch protected health information, directly or as a downstream vendor.
CMMC
Required for defense contractors and their supply chain.
Not sure which one your deal actually requires? Send us the security questionnaire that’s blocking it — we’ll tell you in a day.
The questions that come up on every first call.
-
Is Thoropass a platform or an audit firm?
Both. Thoropass operates a licensed CPA firm registered with the AICPA alongside its audit platform, so the same organisation delivers the software and the independent assessment. Most competitors provide only the platform and require you to engage a separate audit firm.
-
If Thoropass does the audit, why would I need CloudSapio?
Because your auditor can't remediate the controls it's auditing. Independence standards prevent an audit firm from designing, implementing, or fixing the control environment it will later issue an opinion on. Building that environment — controls, policies, remediation, and readiness review — is separate work, and it's ours.
-
How long does a SOC 2 audit take with Thoropass?
Thoropass reports that many customers complete readiness and audit cycles in weeks to a few months rather than multi-quarter timelines, though this depends heavily on how mature your controls are at the start. Readiness is the variable — the audit itself is comparatively predictable, which is exactly why the preparation work matters
-
We're pursuing HITRUST and SOC 2 together. Is that realistic?
It depends on whether your bottleneck is getting certified or staying trusted. Vanta and Drata are strongest as fast, focused paths to SOC 2 and ISO 27001; TrustCloud casts a wider net across GRC, security reviews, and vendor risk, which matters more once certification is behind you and questionnaires are the recurring cost. CloudSapio is a certified partner for all three, so we'll recommend based on your stack, your buyers, and your headcount rather than our incentives.
-
Can we keep our existing GRC platform?
Thoropass integrates alongside third-party GRC tools rather than requiring you to replace them, so teams already invested in a platform can adopt the audit side without abandoning it. Whether that's the right architecture for you depends on how much duplication it creates — worth a conversation before you commit.
