FAQ
Questions about hiring a Senior Cloud Security & SOC 2 Engineer
Answered the way we would on a call. If yours isn’t here, send it — we reply within one business day.
It depends on where you start — how much is already automated, documented and enforced. A gap assessment gives you a realistic plan. A Type 2 report also needs an observation period, which you agree with your auditor.
No one honestly can. We prepare the evidence; the audit opinion is issued by your independent CPA firm. What we can do is find and close the gaps before the auditor does.
We draft policies from how your company actually works, for your team to review and adopt. Your auditor assesses them during the audit, alongside the evidence that you follow them.
