Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the SOC 2 Gap Analysis
SOC 2 Type II is an auditing standard that evaluates how well a service organization protects customer data over a period of time (typically 6-12 months). It covers five Trust Service Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
The five Trust Service Criteria are: (1) Security (CC1-CC9), (2) Availability (A1), (3) Processing Integrity (PI1), (4) Confidentiality (C1), (5) Privacy (P1-P8). Security is required for all SOC 2 audits; the others are optional.
SOC 2 preparation typically takes 3-12 months depending on your current maturity level. Organizations at maturity level 1-2 may need 6-12 months. Type II requires a 6-12 month observation period after controls are implemented.
No, only Security (Common Criteria) is required. The other four criteria are optional and should be selected based on what is relevant to your services and customer commitments.
Type I assesses control design at a point in time. Type II evaluates both design AND operating effectiveness over 6-12 months. Type II is more rigorous and most enterprises require Type II reports from vendors.
Auditor fees typically range from $20,000-$100,000+ depending on scope and complexity. Implementation costs can add $50,000-$200,000 for organizations at lower maturity levels.
