SOC 2 Readiness Index

Key Inputs We Evaluate

Our assessment evaluates your organization across dimensions that directly impact audit complexity and preparation effort:

• •Company Size & Structure: Determines documentation scope and control ownership complexity.
• •Data Sensitivity: Handling PII, financial, or health data increases control requirements (explicitly mapped to CC6.1).
• •Audit Timeline: Urgency affects resource allocation—compressed timelines increase preparation costs.
• •Industry Vertical: Baseline requirements vary significantly for Fintech, Healthcare, and SaaS platforms.

How the Readiness Score Is Derived

Your score (0–100) is calculated using a risk-based scoring logic—not AI guesswork. Each input maps to explicit weights based on the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (TSC) and practical audit experience.

• •Readiness Bands: You are placed into one of four categories: Pre-audit, Early-stage, Near-ready, or Audit-ready.
• •Cost Range: We provide an estimate that includes auditor fees, internal effort, and tooling costs.
• •Gap Rationale: For every input, we provide a rationale (e.g., "Handling PHI requires HIPAA-aligned controls").

How to Use These Results

• •Benchmark: Identify exactly where you sit on the 0-100 readiness scale.
• •Budget: Use the estimated cost ranges for internal planning and vendor selection.
• •Prioritize: Focus on the specific "Gaps" identified by the algorithm before engaging an auditor.
