SOC 2-Ready Infrastructure

The enterprise deal is waiting on SOC 2. Your infrastructure is the hard part.

Compliance platforms make the policies easy — then leave a wall of failing infrastructure checks. We implement the technical controls auditors actually verify, in your cloud accounts, in 3–4 weeks, for a fixed price.

Flagship

SOC 2-Ready Infrastructure

The infrastructure side of SOC 2, done — so the enterprise deal can close.

$6,900fixed price

3–4 weeks

Guarantee: Scoped against your Vanta or Drata checks — we work until the infrastructure ones pass.

  • Gap assessment against SOC 2 trust criteria
  • Access control: SSO, least privilege, offboarding
  • Centralized logging and audit trails
  • Encryption at rest and in transit, everywhere
  • Backups and disaster recovery — with tested restores
  • Vanta / Drata evidence collection wired up
  • Auditor-ready documentation of all of it

Best if: An enterprise customer is asking for SOC 2 and your infrastructure isn't ready.

The controls

What auditors check — and what we implement

Access control

SSO everywhere, least-privilege IAM, no shared credentials, and an offboarding process that actually revokes access.

Logging & audit trails

Centralized logs with retention your auditor accepts, and audit trails for the systems that matter.

Encryption

At rest and in transit, everywhere — including the databases and buckets everyone forgot about.

Backups & disaster recovery

Automated backups with restore tests that have actually been run — not just a checkbox that says 'enabled'.

Change management

Infrastructure as code with review, CI/CD with approvals — deploys your auditor can trace.

Monitoring & alerting

Availability monitoring and incident alerting, because 'we would have noticed' is not evidence.

How it runs

Three to four weeks, start to green

  1. 1

    Gap assessment

    Week 1: we map your infrastructure against SOC 2 trust criteria — or directly against your failing Vanta/Drata checks — and agree the exact scope in writing.

  2. 2

    Implementation

    Weeks 2–3: controls built as Terraform in your accounts: access, logging, encryption, backups, DR, monitoring. Tested, including restores.

  3. 3

    Evidence & handover

    Week 4: compliance-platform integrations wired so evidence collects automatically, plus auditor-ready documentation of every control.

Straight talk

What we won't pretend

We don't sell certificates — your auditor issues those, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. We don't write your HR policies or run your security-awareness training; your compliance platform makes those genuinely easy. What we do is the part that isn't easy: the infrastructure controls, implemented properly, as code you own.

After the audit, checks drift — access creeps, log retention lapses, restores go untested. That's what theFractional DevOps retainer exists for: keeping it green, month after month.

Questions

SOC 2 infrastructure, explained

Does this get us SOC 2 certified?

The certificate comes from your auditor — nobody can sell it to you directly, and you should walk away from anyone who claims otherwise. What we deliver is the infrastructure side passing: the technical controls implemented and wired into Vanta or Drata so the checks go green and evidence collects itself. Policies and HR controls are handled in your compliance platform; the audit engagement is between you and your auditor.

Do we need Vanta or Drata first?

It helps but isn't required. If you already have one, we scope directly against its failing checks — that's what the guarantee is written against. If you don't, we'll recommend one (they're comparable; pick by price and integrations) and set up the infrastructure integrations as part of the work.

Type I vs Type II — does it change the infrastructure work?

No — the controls are the same. Type I is a snapshot ('controls exist today'); Type II observes them operating over 3–12 months. Our package builds the controls either way; the Fractional DevOps retainer is how teams keep them green through a Type II observation window.

How long until we can start the audit?

The infrastructure work takes 3–4 weeks. Most startups run it in parallel with policy work in their compliance platform, pick an auditor during that window, and can start a Type I audit within the same quarter they began.
