SOC 2-Ready Software Development
We build software that supports SOC 2 Type II controls and audit evidence: access, change management, encryption, and logging engineered from week one, so your report goes faster.
Our status against SOC 2
Audit-ready builds
We build software that supports the technical controls and evidence a SOC 2 examination looks for. SOC 2 is an attestation issued to your company by a licensed CPA firm; it is not a certification a development shop can hold on your behalf.
| Requirement | Status | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Security (Common Criteria) | Met | The required TSC: RBAC, MFA, encryption, and logging designed in from day one. |
| Availability | Met | Monitoring, alerting, and backup/restore patterns that produce uptime evidence. |
| Confidentiality | Met | Data classification and encryption so confidential data is scoped and protected. |
| Processing Integrity | Met | Input validation, reconciliation, and error handling for accurate processing. |
| Privacy | Partial | We architect the technical side; the Privacy TSC also needs your notice, consent, and policy work. |
| Change management evidence | Met | PR reviews, CI checks, and protected branches produce an auditable change trail. |
| Type II observation window | Partial | Type II tests controls over 3–12 months of operating evidence; that window and the audit are yours to run. |
Compliance architected from week one, not bolted on after
What this means for your build
- We engineer the technical controls a SOC 2 examination tests, access management, change management, encryption, and logging, rather than retrofitting them the month before your audit.
- We make evidence a byproduct of how we build: PR reviews, CI gates, audit logs, and infrastructure-as-code all leave the trail an auditor asks for.
- We scope the system boundary with you early, so it is clear which services, data stores, and subprocessors are in scope for the report.
- We wire access controls around least privilege and MFA, and keep provisioning/de-provisioning steps auditable.
- We can prepare the platform for a SOC 2 audit, but we do not issue the report; that is signed by an independent, licensed CPA firm.
How we ship SOC 2-compliant code
Least-privilege access controls
RBAC, MFA, named IAM roles, and time-bounded access, with provisioning and de-provisioning that leave an audit trail.
Change management via PR + CI
Protected branches, required reviews, and CI gates so every production change has a reviewed, evidenced approval path.
Audit logging
Centralized, tamper-evident logs for access and administrative actions, with retention that satisfies the observation window.
Encryption at rest and in transit
AES-256 with managed keys (KMS or equivalent) and TLS 1.2+, so the Confidentiality and Security criteria are covered by default.
Infrastructure as code
Terraform / CloudFormation so environment configuration is reviewable, reproducible, and self-documenting for auditors.
Monitoring and alerting
Uptime, error, and anomaly alerting that produces the Availability evidence and an incident-response record.
What SOC 2 does NOT cover
- SOC 2 is an attestation issued by a licensed CPA firm; a development agency cannot certify or attest it for you.
- SOC 2 is not ISO 27001. ISO 27001 is a separate international certification with its own ISMS requirements.
- A SOC 2 report covers your organization’s system and controls, not a badge on us as a subprocessor.
- SOC 2 does not replace HIPAA, GDPR, or PCI DSS; those regulate specific data types on top of it.
- The written policies, HR/onboarding controls, vendor-risk program, and auditor engagement are yours; we cover the technical controls, not the org-wide program.
When you need a separate consultant
We engineer for SOC 2; we are not a law firm or a certifying body. Bring in a specialist when you need:
- The SOC 2 examination and report itself → a licensed CPA / auditing firm (e.g. Prescient Assurance, Johanson Group, A-LIGN).
- Continuous evidence collection and control monitoring → a compliance automation platform (e.g. Vanta, Drata, Secureframe).
- Written information-security policies, risk assessment, and vendor-risk program → a security/GRC consultant.
- A readiness assessment or gap analysis before the Type I → a SOC 2 readiness consultant.
- We can recommend specific auditors and automation platforms on request.

Compliance lives in the architecture, not in a policy document
Encryption at rest, access controls, audit logging, and immutable decision trails are wired into the build from the first sprint. The posture on this page reflects how we actually ship.
Frequently asked questions
SOC 2 is not a certification and no one is "SOC 2 certified"; it is an attestation report issued to a company by a licensed CPA firm. What we do is build software that supports the technical controls and evidence a SOC 2 examination tests, so your own report goes faster.
