SOC 2 Attestation Services

SOC 2 Type I Audit
What it is: Independent opinion on the design of your controls at a point in time, mapped to your selected Trust Services Criteria.
What you receive
- SOC 2 Type I report (Independent Auditor's Report, System Description review, Management's Assertion)
- Complementary user entity controls (CUECs) clearly enumerated
Best for: Teams needing a defensible attestation on design to unlock enterprise deals or investor diligence.
SOC 2 Type II Audit
What it is: Independent opinion on the operating effectiveness of your controls over a defined review period.
What you receive

Best for: Growth-stage and enterprise-selling teams who need an attestation that will withstand tough procurement and legal review.

What makes a SOC 2 report “defensible”?
Defensibility comes from disciplined execution and complete documentation. Our approach is transparent and testable:
- Scope discipline: Criteria selection, subservice carve-outs, and system boundaries are documented and justified.
- Sampling you can explain: Statistically sound or risk-based sampling with counts, frames, and selection logic captured in workpapers.
- Evidence integrity: Time-bound evidence requests, metadata preservation, and verifiable screen capture/exports with hash or provenance notes when applicable.
- Traceable procedures: Each control maps to a procedure, evidence item(s), and a tester's conclusion. No gaps, no hand-waving.
- Quality review: Independent technical and partner review prior to issuance, with queries resolved and logged.
- Exception precision: Clear description, impact, and criteria reference. Never vague language that invites second-guessing.

Defensibility in the real world

DevTools Scale-Up (Type II)
Procurement raised three exception challenges. Our report's sampling logic, evidence chain, and exception rationale resolved all challenges in one review cycle, enabling an annual vendor agreement.
Anonymized client
Healthcare SaaS (Type I)
Investor diligence required a point-in-time opinion within 30 days. We executed a tightly scoped Type I with explicit CUECs and subservice disclosures, and the deal closed on schedule.
Anonymized client
Fintech API (Type II)
Legal requested clarity on carve-outs. Our report included explicit carve-out language and matrix cross-references. Questions closed without rework.
FAQ
Do you do readiness?
No. We are an independent audit firm and do not provide readiness or remediation services.
Can you tell us how to fix exceptions?
We document exceptions precisely and fairly. Because we maintain independence, we do not design controls or provide remediation advice.
What is included in a Type I vs. Type II?
Type I opines on control design at a point in time. Type II opines on operating effectiveness over a review period. Both include a defensible report package with clear scope, CUECs, and disclosures.
