Key Benefits
Accelerate Sales Cycles
SOC 2 acts like a pre-vetted security credential, shrinking security questionnaires and unblocking enterprise deals.
Build Investor & Client Trust
An independent audit proves you take security seriously—often decisive in funding and vendor selection.
Reduce Risk & Improve Security
The process surfaces gaps early—before they become incidents—so you harden what matters and move faster.
Quick-Start Checklist
Teach day-one security: secrets, MFA, least-privilege, secure SDLC.
Write and enforce access control & key/credential management policies.
Centralize logs & evidence (code, cloud, tickets, alerts) with retention.
Pick an automation platform (Vanta/Drata) to speed control monitoring.
Start now—don’t lose a deal waiting for a report.
Tooling Options
Vanta
Automates evidence from AWS/GCP/Azure, GitHub, Jira, Slack. Great baseline for startups; some niche evidence still needs manual uploads.
Drata
Strong workflows and policy templates; flexible integrations. Similar story—automation plus some manual evidence.
