SOC 2 Type I & Type II (AICPA Trust Services Criteria)

Win enterprise deals that require independently audited security, availability, and confidentiality controls.

SOC 2 reports are the standard US enterprise buyers ask for before signing with a SaaS or services vendor. CyberCure prepares your organization against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria — security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy — building the control environment and evidence trail your independent auditor needs to issue a clean Type I or Type II report.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

Type I assesses whether your controls are suitably designed at a single point in time. Type II assesses whether those controls operated effectively over an observation period, typically 3–12 months, and is what most enterprise buyers ultimately require.

Do we need SOC 2 if we already have ISO 27001?

They serve different audiences — ISO 27001 is recognized globally and by regulators, while SOC 2 is the de facto requirement for US enterprise procurement. Many of our clients hold both, and we reuse control evidence across the two to reduce duplicated effort.

How long does it take to get SOC 2 Type II certified?

Type I readiness can be achieved in 6–10 weeks. Type II additionally requires an observation period (commonly 3, 6, or 12 months) during which your auditor verifies controls operated consistently.
