SOC 2 Evidence Collection

From $5,000 CAD · scoped to you

SOC 2 lives or dies on evidence. Auditors examine your systems against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria and ask for proof that each control operates.

Book a discovery call See pricing

We gather that evidence, map it to controls, and get your team audit-ready so the examination is smooth instead of frantic.

Our principal took a venture-backed company from no programme at all to a SOC 2 Type II with zero exceptions: how it was built.

Built for teams that...

  • Companies in or approaching a SOC 2 Type I or Type II examination
  • Teams drowning in auditor evidence requests with no one to own them
  • Founders who want the audit handled without derailing engineering

What we do

  • Control mapping of your practices to the relevant Trust Services Criteria
  • Evidence collection across systems, tickets, configs, and policies
  • A gap review that flags controls without adequate evidence, with fixes
  • Organized, auditor-ready evidence packaged the way examiners expect
  • Direct support during auditor requests so your team is not scrambling

What you walk away with

You walk into your SOC 2 examination with controls mapped and evidence organized, cutting the back-and-forth with the auditor and the odds of a surprise. Your engineers stay focused on product instead of chasing screenshots.

Frequently asked questions

What is SOC 2 evidence, exactly?

It is the proof that each control actually operates: configuration screenshots, access reviews, ticket records, policies, and logs, all mapped to the Trust Services Criteria your report covers.

Do you also do the audit?

No. The independent audit must be performed by a licensed CPA firm. We prepare you and organize the evidence so the examination goes smoothly, and we can coordinate with your auditor.

Type I or Type II?

We support both. Type I is a point-in-time design assessment; Type II tests operating effectiveness over a period, which needs evidence collected across that window.

How does this fit with SOC 2 readiness?

Evidence collection is Phase 2 of SOC 2 readiness, scoped from what the Phase 1 gap analysis finds. If you want the full end-to-end program, start with the gap analysis on the pricing page.

The workspace is included, not quoted

The price above covers the work. It also covers where the work lives, which most buyers are quoted separately as an annual platform subscription.

Exceptions on a SOC 2 Type II built from nothing in-house

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.

The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
