A SOC 2 Type I report attests that your security controls are designed correctly at a single point in time. A SOC 2 Type II report attests that those same controls operated effectively over a period, usually three to twelve months. Type II is harder to earn and is what most enterprise buyers ultimately require.
Type I is a snapshot. It answers "are the right controls in place today?" and is faster to obtain, which makes it useful for unblocking a deal that is stalling on the security review.
Type II is a track record. The auditor samples evidence across the observation window to confirm controls ran consistently, not just on audit day. The common path is to earn Type I first, then run a Type II observation period immediately after.
traztech delivers SOC 2 Type I and Type II delivery for startups and growth-stage companies, led by a published CVE researcher.
