SOC 2 Security Certification Lead
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Our organization is ready to pursue a formal SOC 2 attestation under the Security Trust Service Criterion. All core security policies and procedures are already in place and fully documented, yet they need a sharp, certified eye to make sure each control aligns perfectly with the latest AICPA requirements before we invite the auditor in.
What I need from you
• A thorough readiness review that maps our current controls to the SOC 2 Security framework, pinpoints gaps, and ranks them by risk.
• Clear, actionable revisions to our existing documentation (incident response, access management, change control, vendor due-diligence, etc.) so everything meets auditor expectations.
• Guidance on implementing any missing technical or administrative safeguards, backed by practical templates or tooling suggestions where helpful (e.g., Vanta, Drata, Tugboat Logic, or equivalent GRC platforms).
• Coaching for our internal team on evidence collection and ongoing monitoring so we can maintain compliance long after the audit.
• Preparation of the final evidence package and liaison support during the external audit until the SOC 2 Type I/II report is issued.
Acceptance criteria
• Gap-analysis report with remediation roadmap delivered.
• Updated policy set reflecting all required controls and reviewer sign-off.
• Evidence checklist ready for the external auditor, with sample artifacts attached.
• Successful hand-off to the auditor, leaving no outstanding corrective actions.
If you hold current SOC 2 credentials and have recently steered companies through Security-only engagements, let’s align schedules and get started.
