SOC 2 Readiness & Compliance Consulting

Service overview

Protect what matters with SOC 2 Readiness & Compliance Consulting

For SaaS and technology companies, SOC 2 has become the price of doing business with enterprise customers. But a SOC 2 report is only as valuable as the controls behind it — and getting there can feel opaque and slow. Aesparrow makes SOC 2 practical: we take you from gap assessment through control design, evidence and audit, building a programme your team can actually operate rather than a box-ticking exercise that falls apart after the report is signed.

We work across all five Trust Services Criteria — Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and Privacy — scoping the right criteria for your business, closing the gaps, and coordinating the independent CPA audit for both Type I and Type II. Along the way we handle policies, evidence collection, the required penetration testing, and readiness so the audit is a milestone you hit on schedule, not a scramble.

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

Type I assesses whether your controls are suitably designed at a point in time. Type II assesses whether they operated effectively over a period, usually three to twelve months. Enterprise customers typically want Type II.

How long does SOC 2 take?

Readiness usually takes a few weeks to a few months depending on your starting point, followed by the audit observation window for Type II. We give you a realistic timeline up front.

Do we need a penetration test for SOC 2?

While not strictly mandated, auditors and customers expect regular penetration testing as evidence of your security controls. We provide it as part of the engagement.

Who performs the actual audit?

An independent licensed CPA firm issues the SOC 2 report. We prepare you and coordinate the audit, so the process is smooth and predictable.
