SOC 2 readiness, plainly answered.
What is SOC 2 and why does my business need it?
+
SOC 2 (Service Organisation Control 2) is a security and trust attestation framework developed by the AICPA. It is the de facto vendor-security standard for US enterprise buyers and increasingly for mid-market and enterprise buyers globally (UK, EU, Australia, Singapore). If you sell B2B SaaS or services to mid-market or enterprise clients, you will eventually be asked for a SOC 2 report. Without one, certain procurement processes simply will not start, it has become the entry ticket. Indian, European, Israeli and APAC SaaS companies routinely pursue SOC 2 to sell into US and Western European markets.
SOC 2 Type I vs Type II, which do I need?
+
Type I attests that your controls are designed appropriately at a single point in time. Type II attests that they have been operating effectively over a period (minimum 3 months, commonly 6 or 12). Type I is faster and cheaper but most enterprise buyers will not accept it alone, they want Type II. The common path: get Type I first (3–4 months), then run Type II covering the subsequent 6 months. By month 9–10 you have a Type II report.
How much does SOC 2 readiness cost?
+
RoseLeap's SOC 2 readiness engagement runs $5,000–$20,000 USD (₹4 lakh–₹15 lakh) depending on company size and existing control maturity. The audit itself (paid separately to a CPA firm or to a compliance-automation platform like Drata / Vanta / Secureframe) runs $5,000–$30,000 USD for Type I and $10,000–$60,000 USD for Type II. Compliance automation platforms typically cost $400–$2,000 USD/month. Total first-year SOC 2 spend (readiness + audit + automation) for a small SaaS is roughly $15,000–$50,000 USD.
How long does SOC 2 take?
+
For a startup or small SaaS starting from scratch, Type I in 90–120 days is realistic. Type II requires an additional observation window of at least 3 months (often 6) where controls operate continuously. So end-to-end Type II in 6–9 months from kickoff is the typical realistic timeline.
Do I need Drata, Vanta or Secureframe?
+
Strongly recommended. Compliance-automation platforms (Drata, Vanta, Secureframe, Sprinto, AuditBoard) automate ~80% of evidence collection through integrations with your infrastructure (AWS, GCP, GitHub, Okta, Slack, etc.). Without one, evidence collection is a manual hell. With one, your SOC 2 audit goes from terrifying to routine. We've worked alongside all the major platforms and will recommend the right one for your stack.
Can I do SOC 2 without a US CPA firm?
+
No, SOC 2 reports must be issued by an independent US CPA firm (the AICPA requirement). Compliance platforms like Drata and Vanta partner with audit firms and provide a streamlined path. For larger or more complex businesses, dedicated boutique audit firms (Prescient, A-LIGN, BARR Advisory) are common. We don't sell audit services, we get you ready to pass an audit by someone else. Available remotely regardless of where your business is based.
What is the difference between SOC 2 and ISO 27001?
+
Both are widely-recognised security attestations. SOC 2 is American (AICPA), report-based, attests to controls; ISO 27001 is international (ISO/IEC), certification-based, attests to an Information Security Management System. US buyers tend to ask for SOC 2; European, UK, Australian, government and large enterprise buyers worldwide often ask for ISO 27001. Many businesses selling globally pursue both, they share ~70% of controls. We focus on SOC 2 readiness; ISO 27001 can be added to the same control set with additional documentation.
