What is?
The security standard required by enterprise customers.
Type II certification in 90 days with fixed pricing and guaranteed results.
SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) is a security framework developed by the AICPA that evaluates how well a service provider protects customer data. It's the most recognized security certification for B2B SaaS companies and is often required by enterprise customers during procurement.
Unlike a checklist, SOC 2 is based on five Trust Service Criteria that must be implemented, monitored, and audited by an independent CPA firm. Type I reports show your controls are properly designed. Type II reports prove they've been operating effectively for a defined period (typically 6-12 months).

Type I vs Type II
Understanding the difference and which one you need
Aspect | SOC 2 Type I | SOC 2 Type II |
|---|---|---|
What It Proves | Controls are properly designed | Controls have operated effectively over time |
Observation Period | Point-in-time (single day) | 6-12 months of continuous operation |
Timeline | 1-2 months total | 3-6 months total (6-12 month observation + audit) |
Enterprise Acceptance | Some accept, many require Type II | Required by most enterprise customers |
Our Recommendation | Start here if you need quick certification | Go straight to Type II for maximum value |
Typical Cost | $20K-$30K | $25K-$60K (depending on complexity) |
Our 90-Day Process: We can get you audit-ready for Type I in 90 days, or start your Type II observation period immediately (Type II report delivered after 6-12 months of successful operation).

Common Questions
Quick answers about SOC 2 certification
We get you audit-ready in 90 days, but Type II requires a 6-12 month observation period. You can start the observation period immediately after controls are implemented (Month 2), so total time is typically 8-12 months from kickoff to final report.
Most enterprise customers require Type II. Type I is useful if you need something quickly (within 90 days) or for smaller deals. If you're unsure, start with Type I and upgrade to Type II observation period immediately.
Audit firm fees (paid directly to the CPA firm) range from $8K-$15K depending on company size and scope. We coordinate with pre-vetted firms who understand our process and offer competitive pricing.
Yes! Many companies pursuing global markets get both (SOC 2 for US, ISO 27001 for EU/international). There's significant overlap in controls. We offer bundled pricing with 15-20% savings.
