SOC 2 · Controls
The SOC 2 control library that survives audit.
We publish a control library that has cleared hundreds of SOC 2 audits — access, change, vendor, incident, risk, and monitoring — and we implement it against your actual environment.
01 — Overview
A SOC 2 control library is not a checklist — it is the operating model your organization runs on for the period of the report. Design it as a checklist and you inherit twelve months of manual evidence collection and audit-time panic. Design it as an operating model and evidence is a by-product of normal operations.
Our library covers access provisioning and reviews, change management, vulnerability management, incident response, vendor risk, business continuity, physical and environmental controls, HR onboarding and offboarding, secure development, encryption and key management, logging and monitoring, and risk assessment.
02 — Engagement
Our approach.
- I
Environment discovery
We inventory the systems, teams, and workflows that produce the evidence your controls will rely on.
- II
Control design
We tailor each control to your environment — the wording, cadence, owner, and evidence artifact.
- III
Evidence instrumentation
We wire evidence collection into source systems: identity provider, code hosting, ticketing, cloud, HRIS.
- IV
Operating rhythm
We stand up the monthly, quarterly, and annual cadence your controls need to operate — and prove it operated.
03 — Deliverables
What you receive.
- Complete control library with narrative descriptions
- Control-to-TSC mapping with points of focus alignment
- Evidence collection playbook per control
- GRC platform configuration (Vanta, Drata, Sprinto, or Secureframe)
- Operating rhythm calendar with owner assignments
04 — Timeline
Expected duration.
Control design and instrumentation runs six to ten weeks depending on environment complexity.

Common questions.
How many controls does a typical SOC 2 program have?+
Between 70 and 120 controls for a Security-only Type II report. Adding Availability, Confidentiality, and Processing Integrity typically adds 20 to 40 additional controls.
Can we use a GRC platform's default control library?+
You can start there. Every default library needs tailoring to your environment — the wording, the owner, the evidence artifact, and the cadence. Auditors test what you documented, not what the platform shipped.
