Frequently Asked Questions
A Type 1 report, which is included in this program, attests that your security controls are designed properly at a single point in time. A Type 2 report attests that those controls are operating effectively over a period of time (typically 3-12 months). This program gives you everything you need to begin your Type 2 observation period.
Achieving a SOC 2 Type 2 report is the outcome of a successful, continuous security program. It is a process that requires a dedicated observation period, which your SOC 2 Type 1 report is designed to initiate.
Your path to Type 2 follows our signature methodology: Assess $\rightarrow$ Build $\rightarrow$ Operate.
-
Assess (Completed in Accelerator): We perform a gap analysis, define your scope, and document all required policies and procedures.
-
Build (Completed in Accelerator): We implement the foundational technology and operational processes. This is when the Type 1 audit occurs, verifying the design of your controls at a specific point in time.
-
Operate (Type 2 Observation Period): This phase is where you must demonstrate that the controls we designed and built are operating effectively and consistently over a minimum period (typically 3 to 12 months).
Our SOC 2 Accelerator provides the entire Assess & Build foundation, positioning you to begin your Type 2 observation period on Day 1.
The SOC 2 framework does not explicitly mandate a penetration test. However, it is considered a best practice and a critical way to gather evidence for several criteria, especially those related to vulnerability detection and risk management (CC3.4, CC4.1, CC7.1). A penetration test is the strongest evidence you can provide to demonstrate your security controls are operating effectively against real-world attacks.
Our entire delivery team and technology infrastructure are based in North America (U.S. and Canada).
As ex-enterprise consultants, we recognize the critical nature of data sovereignty, privacy, and the need to meet due diligence requirements across North America. Our commitment to you is:
-
No Data Sent Offshore: We use vetted, US/Canadian-based personnel. Client data, documentation, and sensitive materials are stored in secure, North American cloud environments.
-
Security SMEs as Partners: We are dedicated to providing security subject matter experts (SMEs) who are deeply integrated into your success. Our consultants are experienced, vetted professionals who share the daily burden, offering Enterprise Strategy at SaaS Speed without the risk of outsourced, anonymous labor.
