Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a SOC 2 readiness assessment?
We evaluate your current controls against the Trust Services Criteria in your audit scope, produce a gap analysis, and deliver a prioritized remediation plan with cost estimates and timelines. Most companies need 60 to 90 days of remediation before engaging an auditor.
Should we start with Type I or Type II?
Most companies pursue Type I first to establish a baseline report, then transition to Type II within 6 to 12 months. This phased approach reduces initial costs while building toward the report enterprise buyers demand.
How does PTG reduce SOC 2 costs?
We right-size the audit scope, eliminate unnecessary criteria, leverage existing controls from HIPAA or other frameworks, and use our ComplianceArmor platform to automate documentation.
Do you coordinate with the CPA audit firm?
Yes. We serve as the primary liaison between your team and the auditor, managing evidence requests, resolving findings, and keeping the engagement on schedule and within budget.
Can you help with risk assessments and penetration testing?
Yes. Our cybersecurity team provides vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and risk assessments that satisfy SOC 2 auditor requirements and feed directly into your evidence collection.
What happens after we receive our SOC 2 report?
Most customers require annual Type II reports. We offer managed compliance services with continuous monitoring, quarterly readiness reviews, and annual audit coordination for a predictable monthly fee.
