Service Overview

 

The Service Organization Control 2 framework, developed by the AICPA, establishes rigorous criteria for managing and securing customer data based on five Trust Services Criteria (TSC): Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

Any service provider that stores, processes, or transmits customer information, especially in the cloud, should meet its standards to prove that they manage data securely and responsibly. This is especially critical for SaaS companies, MSPs, and other third-party vendors supporting business-critical systems.

SOC 2 compliance demonstrates operational maturity, mitigates risk, and increases trust with customers, partners, and regulators.

Partnering with a SOC 2 compliance consultant ensures your organization is prepared for the audit process, aligns with best practices, and builds a resilient compliance program.

Strengthen Assurance & Accountability

 

SOC 2 isn’t just a technical audit, it’s a validation of your entire organization’s ability to protect client data under sustained pressure. Achieving compliance involves a deep review of security policies, system operations, vendor management, and internal controls.

Our experts help design, test, and document controls aligned to your unique business model and ensure you're prepared for either a Type I or Type II audit.

How to Achieve SOC 2 Compliance in Five Steps

Scoping

Threat and Vulnerability Management

Define the systems, processes, and services included in your audit. Identify relevant Trust Services Criteria based on your business model and client expectations.

Implementation

Threat and Vulnerability Management

Develop or enhance technical and administrative controls. This includes access controls, system monitoring, incident response, encryption, and change management.

Readiness Assessment

Threat and Vulnerability Management

Conduct a gap analysis and pre-audit review to identify control deficiencies, prepare documentation, and align evidence to audit expectations.

Audit Execution

Threat and Vulnerability Management

Engage a licensed CPA firm to perform your SOC 2 Type I or Type II audit. RSI Security works alongside you to facilitate the process and minimize disruption.

Ongoing Monitoring

Threat and Vulnerability Management

SOC 2 isn’t one-and-done. Our team supports long-term control testing, documentation updates, and evidence collection to maintain compliance and prepare for re-audits.

How SOC 2 Consultants Are Different?

Unlike firms that only handle audit facilitation, RSI Security offers end-to-end SOC 2 consulting, ensuring you’re equipped with the right controls, processes, and documentation to pass your audit, and maintain compliance afterward.

We help you:

  • Conduct full gap analyses and readiness assessments

  • Develop and document controls tailored to SOC 2 criteria

  • Perform technical testing (e.g., vulnerability scans, risk assessments)

  • Deliver security awareness training and role-based education

  • Build a repeatable compliance program that scales with your business

This holistic approach makes compliance more than a checklist, it becomes a business advantage.

Preparation & Readiness

We assess your current systems and controls against SOC 2 requirements, identify compliance gaps, and deliver a roadmap to audit readiness. Our deliverables include policy templates, system diagrams, and control matrices customized for your business.

Certification Support

Our experts guide your team through a SOC 2 audit, from auditor selection to evidence gathering and issue remediation. We make sure you’re ready for every step of the process and help you avoid common pitfalls that delay or derail certification.

Ongoing Compliance

SOC 2 Type II requires ongoing compliance across your audit window (typically 6–12 months). RSI Security helps monitor, test, and report on your controls, ensuring your audit success and laying the groundwork for future re-certifications.

Why Choose SOC 2 Compliance?

Failure to comply with client security expectations or contractual obligations can lead to:

  • Lost deals due to lack of trust or audit documentation

  • Security breaches from inadequate access or vendor controls

  • Operational inefficiencies caused by poor system oversight

  • Reputation damage that undermines customer confidence

With RSI Security, your organization reduces risk, earns trust, and ensures control across every layer of your data environment.
