The framework

What SOC 2 asks of you.

What it is

SOC 2 is an attestation report issued by an independent CPA firm on a service organization's controls. It is built on the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, which cover security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. A Type I report looks at control design at a point in time, and a Type II report tests how controls operated over a period, usually several months.

System and Organization Controls 2

Who needs it

  • SaaS and cloud providers selling to businesses
  • Service organizations asked for a SOC 2 report in security reviews
  • Teams moving from a Type I to a Type II report

1Common Criteria

Built around the criteria every report includes

Venevor's SOC 2 pack covers key Common Criteria, the security criteria that apply to every SOC 2 report. Each requirement shows its readiness and the controls behind it.

2Type II

Evidence that covers the whole audit period

A Type II audit asks how controls operated over months. Automated checks run on a schedule and keep every timestamped result, so the history is there when your auditor asks for it.

What it does

Keeps every check result with its time and source, and flags evidence that has gone stale.

What it never does

Record an unreadable check as a pass. An error stays an error.

3Auditor access

Give your auditor a dedicated workspace

Your auditor sees the controls, evidence and history in scope, with export and a live evidence package for the audit. They can review everything and change nothing.

Capabilities

Built for SOC 2.

  • Automated control status

    An automated control's status comes from its latest check, and nobody can set it by hand.

  • Collect evidence once

    One check maps to every framework it supports, so SOC 2 evidence also counts toward ISO 27001 or NIST CSF.

  • Five readiness states

    Each requirement is Verified, Asserted, Exception, Gap or Unknown, and verified and asserted are never added together.

  • Policy approvals

    Policies are approved with e-signature and acknowledged by staff, and the record is kept.

  • Vendor questionnaires

    Send questionnaires to vendors and keep their responses with the vendor's record.

  • SOC 2 readiness report

    Share a readiness report that shows where you stand before fieldwork begins.

FAQ

SOC 2 questions.

Does Venevor replace my SOC 2 auditor?

No. A SOC 2 report can only be issued by an independent CPA firm. Venevor prepares and organizes the evidence, and gives your auditor a dedicated workspace to review it.

Which trust services criteria does the SOC 2 pack cover?

Key Common Criteria, which apply to every SOC 2 report. If your scope adds availability, confidentiality, processing integrity or privacy, you can bring those requirements in as a custom framework.

Can we use Venevor for both a Type I and a Type II?

Yes. For a Type I, the readiness view shows where control design stands. For a Type II, scheduled checks keep a timestamped history of results across the audit period.

Which systems can Venevor check?

Built connectors include AWS (with Security Hub), Okta, GitHub, Microsoft Entra ID, Intune, Defender, CrowdStrike, Tenable, Qualys, ServiceNow and Jira. Controls without a connector stay manual, and their readiness is never counted as verified.
