- Why AWJ Tech

What Our SOC 2 Readiness Service Delivers

SOC 2 support from AWJ Tech turns client trust requirements into a completed audit.

01

Trust Services Criteria Assessment

We assess your controls against the specific Trust Services Criteria relevant to your business.

02

Type I and Type II Guidance

We help you determine the right starting point: Type I to demonstrate control design or Type II to show it operating over time.

03

Control Design

We design controls that satisfy audit requirements without disrupting how your team works.

04

Evidence Collection Process

We help establish the evidence collection process your audit will require.

05

Vendor Risk Review

We review your sub-processors and vendors, since their gaps become your gaps.

06

Policy Documentation

We develop the security and operational policies SOC 2 requires.

07

Auditor Liaison Support

We support communication with your chosen audit firm throughout the process.

08

Sales Enablement

A completed SOC 2 report becomes a genuine sales asset for enterprise deals.

09

Faster Deal Cycles

SOC 2 readiness removes a common blocker in enterprise procurement and security reviews.

Enterprise Deals Stall When Security Questionnaires Take Months to Answer.

AWJ Tech Gets You to a Report You Can Actually Hand Over

Without a SOC 2 report, every enterprise sales cycle turns into a custom security questionnaire that slows the deal down. AWJ Tech gets you to a report your sales team can hand over instead.

- Common questions

What Clients Ask SOC 2

Should we start with Type I or Type II?

Many businesses start with Type I to demonstrate control design, then move to Type II once controls have operated for a period.

Do you conduct the actual SOC 2 audit?

No. SOC 2 audits must be conducted by a licensed CPA firm; we prepare you for that audit.

How long does SOC 2 readiness typically take?

Type I readiness often takes six to ten weeks; Type II requires an additional observation period, typically three to twelve months.

Which Trust Services Criteria do we need to include?

Security is mandatory; availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy are included based on your services.

Can our existing ISO 27001 certification help with SOC 2?

Yes. Significant control overlap exists, which can streamline SOC 2 readiness if you're already ISO 27001 certified.

Will this satisfy every client's security questionnaire?

A SOC 2 report significantly reduces custom questionnaire requests, though some clients may still have additional specific questions.
