Achieve SOC 2 readiness

Overview

Reach readiness for a SOC 2 Type I or Type II examination with evidence that holds up to an auditor.

Step-by-step

  1. 1 In the sidebar, open 'Posture Management' then 'Compliance' and click 'New Initiative'.
  2. 2 Select the SOC 2 framework, or click 'Create custom framework' to build it around the trust service criteria you are in scope for (Security, plus any of Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy).
  3. 3 Set the name and dates, and on the Delegate step assign owners and an evidence approval workflow. Submit.
  4. 4 Work the controls tab and set the response for each criterion control.
  5. 5 On the 'Artefacts' tab, provide operating evidence (for a Type II, evidence that the control operated across the review period), and reuse mapped evidence where controls overlap other frameworks.
  6. 6 Connect your tools under 'Account' then 'Integrations' to automate this: their security and compliance checks run as automated control assessments, and supporting evidence and snapshots are collected automatically via the integrations across the review period.
  7. 7 Close open gaps with remediation plans, or request governed exceptions where a control is compensated.
  8. 8 Run an internal audit engagement over the in-scope controls to pre-test design and operating effectiveness before the examination.
  9. 9 Monitor readiness on the posture score and in 'Report' then 'Trust Intelligence'.
