Assessments & SOC 2

Find out where you actually stand, then fix what matters first, whether the yardstick is SOC 2, NIST CSF or your own objectives.

Talk to us

Is this you?

  • A customer’s security questionnaire asked for a SOC 2 report you do not have yet.
  • You spend on security but cannot say what it buys you.
  • New leadership, an acquisition or an incident means you need an honest baseline.
  • You are about to buy a security product and want an independent opinion first.

What you get

  • A gap assessment against the framework that matters to you: SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, CMMC or your own objectives
  • A prioritized remediation roadmap with owners, effort and cost
  • SOC 2 readiness: scoping, control design, policies and evidence collection
  • Support through the audit, working alongside your CPA firm
  • Budget right-sizing: your tools, people and contracts measured against your objectives
  • Independent verification and validation (IV&V) of security technology before you buy it

How it works

  1. Frame

    Agree on the yardstick and the decisions the assessment has to support.

  2. Assess

    Interviews, configuration reviews and evidence sampling.

  3. Prioritize

    Findings ranked by risk and effort, written in plain language.

  4. Close

    Fix, document and get ready for the auditor or the board.

Every step follows Cyber BAMCIS, our planning method.

Questions

Can you perform our SOC 2 audit?

No. SOC 2 reports are issued by independent CPA firms. We get you ready for the audit and support you while it happens.

Type 1 or Type 2?

A Type 1 report looks at whether your controls are designed properly at a point in time. A Type 2 report tests whether they operated effectively over a period, usually several months. Most customers eventually ask for Type 2.

What does budget right-sizing involve?

We inventory your security tools, staff and contracts, map them to your objectives, and show where money is duplicated, missing or pointed at the wrong risk.
