Overview
Taking a fast-growing SaaS company from no formal controls to a SOC 2 Type II report without turning security into theatre.
The challenge
Enterprise deals were stalling on a security questionnaire the company could not answer, and leadership feared a compliance program would drown engineering in busywork.
Our approach
We ran a gap assessment, designed controls the team could actually operate, automated the evidence collection, and prepared and liaised with the auditor through the whole observation window.
The outcome
The company passed SOC 2 Type II on the first attempt with zero exceptions, and the controls became part of how engineering works rather than a burden bolted on beside it.
