SOC 2 readiness checklist

A founder-friendly checklist for organizing SOC 2 readiness evidence without claiming certification before an audit.

  • Security controls: access, encryption, backups, logging, change management
  • People controls: onboarding, offboarding, background checks where applicable
  • Vendor controls: risk tier, owner, DPA, subprocessor, and review cadence
  • Evidence packet: owner, source timestamp, reviewer, expiry, export format
  • Boundary: readiness support, not a SOC 2 certification claim
