SOC 2 Compliance Services
SOC 2 compliance and audit readiness services for EU organisations that need to meet Trust Services Criteria expectations from US-based clients, investors, and partners.
SOC 2 Compliance Services help organisations prepare for and achieve SOC 2 Type I and Type II attestation by evaluating controls against the Trust Services Criteria defined by the AICPA: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. While SOC 2 originated in the United States, European companies increasingly face SOC 2 requirements when selling SaaS products to US enterprises, onboarding institutional investors, or participating in procurement processes that mandate third-party attestation. The service covers readiness assessment, control design and implementation, evidence gathering, and coordination with the external auditor.
What are the results of this service?
The engagement delivers a readiness assessment identifying gaps between current controls and SOC 2 requirements, a control matrix mapping each Trust Services Criterion to specific policies, procedures, and technical safeguards, and a structured evidence collection framework. Clients receive guidance on designing controls that satisfy both SOC 2 and overlapping requirements from ISO 27001 and GDPR, reducing duplicate effort for organisations pursuing multiple compliance frameworks. The service also includes pre-audit review of documentation, mock walkthroughs of auditor evidence requests, and remediation tracking to ensure all identified gaps are closed before the examination period begins. For Type II engagements, the service supports monitoring and evidence collection throughout the observation window.
How does this service help you?
CTOs and engineering leaders gain clarity on the technical controls required across infrastructure, application security, and access management. Product teams preparing for enterprise sales or investor due diligence receive a structured timeline from readiness assessment to attestation report. Compliance officers benefit from a unified control framework that maps SOC 2 criteria to existing ISO 27001 or GDPR controls, avoiding unnecessary duplication. Startups scaling into the US market use SOC 2 attestation to remove procurement blockers and accelerate revenue. Up Secure delivers this service with an understanding of both EU regulatory requirements and US attestation standards, ensuring organisations build controls that serve multiple compliance objectives simultaneously.
