SOC 2 compliance

Trust built in, and measured

SOC 2 is an independent report on how you protect customer data. We build the site and the systems so trust is the default — locked down, Zero Trust, every action logged — and so the evidence a review asks for is already prepared. When the auditor arrives, they confirm a system that is already running.

You already run a careful shop. SOC 2 asks you to show the receipts.

A buyer, an investor, or a partner has asked for your SOC 2 report, and the honest answer is that the practices are there but the proof is spread across Slack threads, admin panels, and a few people's heads. SOC 2 does not ask you to become a different company. It asks you to state how you handle security and then produce evidence that you did it that way for a stretch of time. That is the part we build: controls that hold by default, a record that keeps itself, and reports you can generate on demand instead of assembling by hand over weeks.

What's included in a SOC 2 readiness engagement

Locked down by default

Strong logins with two-factor sign-in required, least-privilege access so each person reaches only their own slice, and protection against the common web attacks that fill a security questionnaire. The safe setting is the one you get on day one, not the one you remember to turn on later.

Zero Trust posture

Every request is verified against the account that made it — nothing is trusted just because it is already inside. The rule lives in the database itself, so it holds even if a page or an address bar is tampered with. It is the same posture we build to on federal work, where a mistake is a breach.

Every action logged

A tamper-proof audit record of who did what, and when — every sign-in, change, and access captured as it happens. It answers a support question in seconds, and it is the first thing a security review asks to see, so it is built to stand up to one.

Reports on demand, not weeks by hand

The evidence a SOC 2 review expects on the web and infrastructure side is prepared in advance, and reports — SOC 2, and where they apply HIPAA and GDPR — can be generated on demand rather than gathered by hand. That is the difference between a compliance team losing weeks and a compliance team pulling a report.

Policies written for your company

Access, onboarding and offboarding, incident response, change management, and vendor review — written in language your team will actually follow, matched to how the controls are configured, not a generic template with your logo dropped on it.

Auditor handoff and support

We assemble the evidence package, sit in on the fieldwork calls, and answer the auditor's follow-up questions alongside your team so the requests do not stall on one busy person. The examination itself is run by an independent CPA firm — never by us.

How a readiness engagement runs

  1. 1

    Scope

    We settle which of the Trust Services Criteria — the standard checklist a SOC 2 review scores you against — your report should cover. There are five to choose from: security • availability • confidentiality • processing integrity • privacy. From there we fix which systems and people are in bounds, and whether you are going for Type I or Type II. Scope decides everything downstream.

  2. 2

    Build it in

    We wire the controls into the stack itself: two-factor logins, least-privilege access, the Zero Trust checks on every request, encrypted backups, and the tamper-proof logging. Trust becomes the default state of the system rather than a layer bolted on for the audit.

  3. 3

    Prepare the evidence

    We set up the collection so proof lands automatically across the whole observation window — access reviews, log retention, change trails — and wire up the on-demand reports so the compliance team can pull what a review asks for instead of chasing it.

  4. 4

    Observation window

    For a Type II report the controls have to run for a set period before fieldwork begins. We watch that the evidence is landing where it should and fix drift while it is still cheap to fix.

  5. 5

    Audit and handoff

    You engage an independent CPA firm to perform the examination and issue the attestation. We assemble the evidence, support the fieldwork, and stay on for the follow-ups until the report is issued.

The same way we run every engagement — how we work →

The standard we build to

  • SOC 2 controls
  • Zero Trust architecture
  • A tamper-proof log of every action
  • Work delivered inside U.S. Army and U.S. Navy environments

We can describe the scope and the constraints of that federal work, though not the owners — details on request. Rules move: confirm your own obligations with counsel before relying on anything on this page.

A good fit if

  • An enterprise prospect has asked for your SOC 2 report
  • Security questionnaires now arrive with every deal
  • You handle data where a mistake would be a breach
  • Diligence has started ahead of a raise or an acquisition
  • Your practices are solid and worth writing down

Questions we get about SOC 2

No — and neither can any firm that builds your controls. A SOC 2 report is an attestation, meaning an independent licensed CPA firm examines your controls and issues an opinion on them. Independence rules keep the people who build and the people who audit separate. Our work is readiness: we build the controls and prepare the evidence so that examination goes smoothly, and we can introduce you to audit firms we have worked alongside. The attestation is always theirs, never ours.
Ian, the founder of Spider Digital Group, builds it personally. You work directly with the person doing the work — your project is not handed to a junior or one of forty things competing for a team's attention. The security build itself is founder-built, not delegated.
Because this is the work we do. Some of it has been delivered inside U.S. Army and U.S. Navy environments, where the rules are not optional — we can describe the scope and the constraints of that work, though not the owners, and we're happy to go through it on a call. What we build to is security-first: Zero Trust architecture, least-privilege access, encrypted backups, SOC 2 controls, and a tamper-proof log of every action. That discipline is what we bring to your review.
Type I says your controls are designed correctly as of one date. Type II says they actually operated that way across a period of time, so it requires an observation window before fieldwork and carries far more weight with buyers. Most companies do Type I first to get something in hand, then run straight into the Type II window.
Readiness depends on how much is already documented and how many systems are in scope. The auditor's fee is separate and paid directly to the CPA firm, not to us, alongside any compliance software you choose to keep. We'll give you a firm number and schedule after the first conversation.
