Compliance & SOC 2 Readiness
Get audit-ready for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR and iGaming regulations without slowing your team down.
We prepare you for the assessment and work alongside your independent auditor.
SOC 2 Readiness Program
Customers and enterprise buyers increasingly ask for a SOC 2 report. We take you from the first gap assessment to audit-ready, step by step.
1. Scoping & Gap Assessment
We confirm which Trust Services Criteria apply, define the systems in scope and compare your current controls against SOC 2 requirements.
2. Remediation Roadmap
You get a prioritized plan showing what to fix, who owns it and how long it takes, so leadership knows exactly where you stand.
3. Policies & Control Implementation
We write the policies and help your team implement the controls: access reviews, logging and monitoring, change management, vendor risk, incident response and more.
4. Evidence & Technical Testing
We set up evidence collection and run the penetration test and vulnerability scans that auditors expect to see.
5. Audit Support
We help you choose an independent CPA firm and support you through the Type I and Type II audits until your report is issued.
SOC 2 Type I
Confirms your controls are designed correctly at a single point in time. A fast first milestone for sales conversations.
SOC 2 Type II
Proves your controls operate effectively over an observation period (usually 3 to 12 months). The report most enterprise customers ask for.
We Can Run the Controls for You
Passing the audit is one thing. Keeping the controls running all year is another. We can operate the technical controls auditors check, and hand you the evidence each month.
- Vulnerability scanning on a fixed schedule, with tracked fixes
- Annual penetration testing and retests
- 24/7 log monitoring and alerting through our SOC
- Incident response plan and yearly tabletop exercise
- Quarterly access reviews and offboarding checks
- Security awareness training for your staff
- Vendor security reviews
- Monthly evidence pack for your auditor
SOC 2 reports are issued by licensed CPA firms, and PCI DSS assessments are carried out by Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs). NextGarrison prepares you for these assessments and supports you throughout. We do not issue reports or certifications ourselves.
