2 · Roadmap (Week 3)
Goal: Define your path forward.
- Map SOC 2 controls to your infrastructure
- Create policies and procedures (templates provided)
- Define evidence collection strategy
- Align timeline with audit schedule
Deliverable: Roadmap + control mapping matrix
3 · Implementation (Weeks 4–8)
Goal: Build your compliance program.

- Document evidence: screenshots, logs, audit trails
- Run internal audits
- Remediate findings
Deliverable: Completed control evidence + audit trail
4 · Audit Ready (Weeks 9–12)
Goal: Pass your external audit.
- Final internal audit (find last-minute gaps)
- Prepare for external auditor (organize evidence)

- Receive attestation letter
Deliverable: Signed SOC 2 report
