SOC 2 is how enterprise buyers verify that your organization handles client data with rigour. Bitsecura partners with you to scope your Trust Services Criteria, implement controls that hold up under audit, and get fully audit-ready — so the Type I or Type II opinion your CPA firm issues is one you can share with confidence.
Whether you're facing your first enterprise procurement questionnaire or preparing for a formal Type II audit, our phase-based approach takes you from gap analysis to audit-ready — so the report your CPA firm issues is clean.
We scope which Trust Services Criteria apply to your service, map your current controls against each criterion, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap. You'll know exactly where you stand — whether you're preparing for an audit or simply want an honest picture of your controls maturity.
We build the policies and technical controls that satisfy each TSC category — access management, encryption standards, change management, vendor risk, and business continuity — alongside your engineering and ops teams. Controls embedded in daily workflows, not bolted on as a compliance layer.
We run a pre-audit simulation to surface any remaining gaps, then coordinate directly with your CPA firm throughout fieldwork — handling evidence requests so your team stays focused on operations. When the auditors arrive, there are no surprises.
Keeping your Type II opinion clean requires year-round effort. We run ongoing evidence collection, access review cadences, control drift monitoring, and annual refreshes — so your next audit cycle starts ahead, not from scratch.
Follow your buyers. North American enterprise customers usually ask for SOC 2; UK, EU and international markets lean ISO 27001. The controls overlap heavily, so doing the second one after the first is a fraction of the original effort.
Type I assesses control design at a point in time; Type II tests operating effectiveness over a period (usually 3 to 12 months). Sophisticated buyers want Type II; a Type I is at best a stepping stone.
Readiness typically takes two to four months, then the Type II observation window runs on top. Realistically, a first Type II report lands 6 to 12 months after kick-off.
No. SOC 2 is an attestation report issued by a licensed CPA firm against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria. There is no certificate to frame; there is a detailed report your customers will actually read, including any exceptions.
Enterprise buyers run procurement questionnaires, security reviews, and vendor risk assessments before every contract. A SOC 2 Type II report answers those questions before they're asked — shortening sales cycles and removing the biggest barrier to closing large accounts. Bitsecura helps you get there without disrupting the business you're already running.
Schedule a CallNo generic control libraries. Every SOC 2 engagement is shaped by your service model, your clients' expectations, and your existing security posture — not a template designed for a different company.
We define the system boundary, identify which TSC categories are in scope for your service, and align on audit timeline — Type I (point-in-time design assessment) or Type II (operational effectiveness over a 6–12 month observation period). Precise scoping prevents scope creep and keeps the audit manageable.
A structured gap analysis maps your current controls, policies, and evidence against every applicable TSC criterion. Findings are ranked by audit risk and remediation effort so you know where to focus first. You'll enter implementation with a clear picture of what you have and what you're missing.
Policies, technical controls, and evidence collection workflows are built alongside your teams — access reviews, vulnerability management cadences, vendor risk registers, and incident response procedures woven into your existing operations. Controls that work in practice hold up under audit; controls built for auditors alone do not.
We run a pre-audit simulation, coordinate with your CPA firm throughout fieldwork, and manage evidence requests so the observation period runs without surprises. Your auditors get what they need, when they need it.
Post-report SOC 2 maintenance — annual evidence refresh, control updates, access review cadences, and continuous monitoring — so your Type II opinion stays clean year over year. Audit-ready, every year.
