# SOC 2 readiness

The auditor issues the report and the deal stops waiting.

**$2,250 for the readiness sprint · from $6,720 for Type 1.**

## How many deals are stuck on the line 'we need SOC 2'?

Usually one — and it is the biggest. The demand comes from the client's procurement team, they set the deadline, and nobody inside your company can waive it. Then the hunt starts: what is this thing, who issues the report, and why do the figures online differ twentyfold.

## A report your client will accept

First we look at what the client and the auditor will check and what you do not have today. That is the readiness sprint: it ends with a list of work, a deadline and a price, not with a 'not bad overall'.

Then we assemble everything the auditor will ask to see: written policies, how access is granted and removed, how breaches are handled, and the place where all this paperwork lives. We pick the auditor ourselves and deal with them until the report is issued.

Type 2 differs from Type 1 only in time: it proves the rules held for months. So after Type 1 we stay on and collect the paperwork ourselves.

### How long does it take from start to report?

Type 1 takes thirty days of preparation plus the auditor's own timeline. Type 2 adds an observation window set by the auditor: usually three months or more. You get the exact number in the first week, out of the readiness sprint.

### Why do market prices differ twentyfold?

Because three separate bills get rolled into one figure: our work, the software licence and the auditor's fee. We keep them apart: you pay the software and the auditor direct, with no mark-up from us.

### Is Type 1 enough for us, or do we need Type 2 straight away?

Look at the client's email: it almost always says which report they accept and by when. If it just says 'SOC 2', start with Type 1 — it is also the first half of the road to Type 2.

### Our client is a government body and they are asking for GovRAMP.

The requirements are almost the same, so the work is done once and covers both. You pay the GovRAMP operator's charges direct: they are not in our price, and we name that line of the bill up front, not at the end.
