Why SOC 2 audits actually fail

Policy says 'annual review' — no evidence of review
Type 2 auditors test 6-12 months of operation. They will ask for the signed review log. 'We will' language fails — show last review date + signer.
MFA only on production, not on Slack/email/Github
CC6.6 applies to all systems that access customer data or production credentials, including SaaS tools. Auditors will sample.
Missing vendor inventory
CC9.2 requires a maintained list of all sub-processors with risk tiering and review cadence. Spreadsheet works — having nothing fails.
Onboarding/offboarding not tied to identity provider
Manual access reviews fail. Auditors expect SSO + automated deprovisioning evidence for the audit window.

SOC 2 FAQ

SOC 2 Type 1 vs Type 2?
Type 1 = controls designed at a point in time. Type 2 = controls operated effectively over 3-12 months. Most enterprise buyers require Type 2. A typical first audit cycle: 3 months prep, Type 1 (1 month), 6-12 month observation, Type 2.
Which Trust Service Criteria do I need?
Security (CC1-CC9) is mandatory. Availability (A1), Processing Integrity (PI1), Confidentiality (C1), and Privacy (P1-P9) are optional and chosen based on customer commitments. Most SaaS pick Security + Availability + Confidentiality.
How much does SOC 2 cost?
Audit fees: $15K-$60K for Type 1, $30K-$100K for Type 2. Plus internal effort (3-6 months for a first-timer). Compliance automation tools (Vanta/Drata/Secureframe) cost $7K-$30K/year and cut prep time in half.
