01
Deals stalled on security questionnaires
Enterprise buyers asking for a SOC 2 report you don't have yet.
Not ready for a SOC 2 Type 2 audit or enterprise security reviews
SOC 2 Type 2 cloud readiness and implementation
Prepare your cloud environment for a SOC 2 Type 2 audit. We close the technical gaps and prepare the evidence; the audit opinion is issued by your independent CPA firm.
Symptoms
Signs your platform has this problem
If several of these sound familiar, the plan below is where we would start.
02
Manual evidence collection
Engineers spending weeks taking console screenshots for auditors.
03
Security gaps
Public S3 buckets, long-lived IAM access keys and missing audit trails.
Remediation plan
How we fix it, step by step
Each phase ends with a measurement, so you can see what changed before the next one starts.
01
Gap analysis
Scanning your cloud accounts against the SOC 2 Common Criteria with Drata or Vanta.
02
Hardening with Terraform
Enforcing KMS encryption, S3 Block Public Access and database backups in code.
03
Identity and access
Removing static access keys and enforcing SSO with MFA through IAM Identity Center or Okta.
04
Continuous evidence
Automating evidence collection and helping your team adopt the policies the auditor will test.
Technical checklist
Remediation checklist
What we check before a change goes to production:
- Use AWS Organizations SCPs to block public S3 buckets and unencrypted EBS volumes
- Enable GuardDuty threat detection and AWS Config rules
- Remove static IAM credentials and enforce SSO with MFA
- Write CloudTrail logs to an S3 bucket with Object Lock
What we measure
We take a baseline first and report the same measurements after each change, from your own monitoring — evidence, not promised results.
- Control gaps
- Open gaps in your compliance tool, tracked until closed
- Evidence
- Controls with automated evidence vs manual screenshots
- Access keys
- Long-lived IAM access keys still in use

Questions about this remediation
Type 1 evaluates whether your controls are designed properly at a point in time. Type 2 evaluates whether they operated effectively over an observation period, typically three to twelve months.
Nobody but your auditor can tell you that: the opinion is issued by your independent CPA firm. What we do is close the technical gaps, prepare the evidence and walk through it with you before the auditor does.
Tools such as Drata and Vanta connect to AWS and GitHub through read-only integrations and check controls like encryption and branch protection on a schedule, so evidence is collected continuously instead of by screenshot.
