Avoid These SOC 2 Mistakes
We've seen companies waste months and thousands of dollars on these common errors
Starting too late
Reality: Enterprise deals stall for 6+ months waiting for SOC 2. Start before you need it.
DIY approach
Reality: DIY takes 12-18 months and often fails. Experts deliver in 8-12 weeks with 100% pass rate.
Choosing wrong scope
Reality: Too broad = expensive. Too narrow = useless. We help scope correctly for your business.
Ignoring Type II
Reality: Type I is just a snapshot. Enterprises increasingly require Type II (3-12 month observation).

SOC 2 FAQ
1What's the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I assesses your controls at a single point in time-a snapshot. Type II evaluates how those controls operate over a period (typically 3-12 months). Type II is more valuable because it demonstrates sustained compliance. Most enterprises prefer or require Type II.
2How long does SOC 2 certification take?
With PlatOps, Type I certification takes 8-12 weeks. Type II requires an additional 3-6 month observation period after controls are in place. DIY efforts typically take 12-18 months and have a higher failure rate.
3How much does SOC 2 certification cost?
Our SOC 2 packages start at $25,000 for Type I readiness and implementation. This includes gap analysis, control implementation, policy development, and audit preparation. Auditor fees (typically $15,000-$40,000) are separate. Compare this to hiring a full-time compliance manager ($150K+/year).
4Which Trust Services Criteria do I need?
Security is required for all SOC 2 audits. We recommend adding Availability if you're a SaaS provider, Confidentiality if you handle sensitive data, and Privacy if you process personal information. We'll help you scope correctly during the gap analysis.
5Do I need SOC 2 if I already have ISO 27001?
It depends on your customers. US enterprises typically want SOC 2. European companies often prefer ISO 27001. Many companies get both. The good news: there's significant overlap, so having one makes the other easier.
6What if we fail the audit?
With proper preparation, failure is rare. In the unlikely event of findings, we help remediate issues and work with the auditor to address them. We have a 100% audit pass rate across all clients.
7How do we maintain SOC 2 after certification?
SOC 2 requires annual recertification. We provide continuous compliance monitoring, quarterly reviews, and annual audit preparation. Many clients find ongoing compliance easier than the initial certification.
8Can you help with security questionnaires too?
Yes. SOC 2 certification answers 80% of standard security questionnaire questions. We also help you create a trust center and respond to custom questionnaires efficiently.
