SOC 2 compliance, audit-ready faster
Map the Trust Services Criteria once, collect evidence continuously, and hand your auditor a clean trail.
SOC 2 is an AICPA attestation in which an independent CPA firm tests your controls against the Trust Services Criteria: security, plus availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy if you choose them. A Type I report covers control design on one date; a Type II report tests operation over a period. ComplyEasyAI automates evidence collection for both.
TL;DR
- Security is always in scope; the other four criteria are optional.
- Type I checks design on one date; Type II checks operation over a period, often 3–12 months.
- Only an independent CPA firm can issue a SOC 2 report.
- SOC 2 and ISO 27001 share many controls, so evidence carries across.

What does SOC 2 require?
The requirements below define SOC 2. ComplyEasyAI maps your environment to each one.
Security
The mandatory common criteria: protecting systems and data against unauthorized access.
Availability
Systems are available for operation and use as committed, with monitoring and recovery.
Processing Integrity
Processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely and authorized.
Confidentiality
Information designated confidential is protected throughout its lifecycle.
Privacy
Personal information is handled in line with your notice and criteria.
How do you prepare for SOC 2?
Scope
Define the systems, boundaries and requirements your program will cover.
Connect your stack
Link cloud, identity, code and ticketing systems, read-only for evidence collection; controls are discovered and mapped.
Collect evidence
AI agents gather configuration and activity evidence on a schedule, building a versioned trail.
Monitor & remediate
Continuous monitoring flags drift the moment it happens and routes it to an owner.
Track effectiveness
Operating effectiveness is recorded over time, ready for your observation window.
Report & hand off
Organized, current evidence is packaged for auditors and stakeholders.
How does ComplyEasyAI automate SOC 2 compliance?
Control mapping
Your environment is mapped to each requirement, so you see exactly which control satisfies what.
Automated evidence
Integrations build a versioned, timestamped evidence trail instead of manual screenshots.
Continuous monitoring
Drift surfaces as soon as it happens, not during fieldwork.
Readiness dashboards
Real-time views highlight failing or unmapped controls with owners attached.
Multi-framework reuse
Shared controls are mapped once and reused across every framework you run.
Audit-ready reporting
Export organized, current evidence packages on demand.
Which frameworks are related to SOC 2?
SOC 2 FAQ
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I assesses whether controls are suitably designed on a specific date. Type II tests whether they operated effectively over a period, commonly three to twelve months, and it is the report most enterprise buyers ask for.
How long does SOC 2 take?
Readiness can take a few weeks with automated evidence. A Type II report still needs an observation window, often three months at minimum, that no tool can shorten, because the auditor must see controls operate over time.
Which Trust Services Criteria should we include?
Security is always included. Add availability if customers rely on uptime commitments, confidentiality for contractually confidential data, processing integrity for transaction processing, and privacy if you handle personal information for customers.
Do you replace my auditor?
No. SOC 2 reports must be issued by an independent CPA firm. ComplyEasyAI prepares you, so fieldwork examines a clean, well-documented control environment.
Can I pursue SOC 2 with ISO 27001?
Yes. The two share many controls, which are mapped once and reused, so evidence carries across both.
