Compliance Audits
Type II · 6-12 month observation window

Get SOC 2 Type II audited. Required for enterprise B2B.

SOC 2 Type II is the de facto security audit for B2B SaaS. Enterprise buyers ask for it before they sign. The audit covers the Trust Services Criteria over a 6-12 month observation window: a CPA firm tests your security controls and issues a report. Most SaaS companies fail their first audit on policy gaps (no documented incident response, no access reviews, no vendor management). We handle readiness, audit coordination, and ongoing compliance.

Observation window

FAQ

About the SOC 2 Type II Audit Service.

What is a SOC 2 audit?
A SOC 2 audit is an independent examination of how a service company protects customer data against criteria for security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy, producing a report that enterprise customers often require before buying. It signals your controls are real. We keep your entity organized so pursuing SOC 2 is manageable.
Who needs SOC 2?
SaaS and technology companies that handle customer data, especially those selling to enterprises, since larger buyers frequently require a SOC 2 report as a condition of the deal. If your sales stall on security questionnaires, it is time. We flag it as a growth milestone for data-handling businesses.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I assesses whether your controls are designed properly at a point in time, while Type II tests whether they operated effectively over a period, usually several months, so Type II is stronger and what most enterprise buyers want. We flag which your customers expect so you pursue the right one.
How long does SOC 2 take?
Type I can be relatively quick once controls are in place, while Type II requires an observation period of several months to demonstrate the controls working, so planning ahead matters. We flag the timeline so you start early enough to have the report when a deal needs it.
What does the audit examine?
Your security controls, access management, monitoring, incident response, and data handling against the trust-services criteria, with an auditor testing evidence. Preparation, policies, and tooling drive the outcome. We keep your business organized so the underlying controls and documentation are in place.
Is SOC 2 a certification?
Not exactly: it is an attestation report from an independent auditor rather than a pass-fail certification, and you share the report with customers under NDA. It demonstrates your controls to buyers. We flag how it fits your sales process so it unlocks the deals it is meant to.
How do I prepare for a SOC 2 audit?
By implementing the required controls, documenting policies, and often using compliance tooling to gather evidence, before the auditor's observation period. It is a project, not a form. We keep your entity and operations organized so the preparation has a solid foundation.
Does SOC 2 overlap with other frameworks?
Yes: it shares controls with frameworks like ISO 27001 and requirements like PCI DSS or HIPAA, so effort can carry over if you need several. We flag which frameworks apply to your business so you build controls once where possible.
Can File.Business help my company get audit-ready?
We keep your entity and compliance organized and flag which security and privacy frameworks, SOC 2 and others, your customers and data require, so you approach an audit deliberately, coordinating with a security or compliance specialist for the audit itself.
