CTOs, security leads, and compliance owners at B2B SaaS companies whose enterprise prospects are asking for a SOC 2 report before they'll sign. If your deals are stalling in security review and you haven't formally assessed your control posture, start here.
Why We Built This Tool
A SOC 2 Type II audit tests whether your controls operated effectively over a 3–12 month window — so gaps found late cost you an entire observation period. This assessment maps the five control areas auditors weight most heavily on AWS: access control, change management, monitoring and logging, risk and vendor management, and availability. It's a rapid triage, not a formal audit, but it surfaces the gaps that extend your timeline.
What Problem It Solves
- Stalled enterprise deals. No SOC 2 report means procurement blocks the contract. This shows what stands between you and audit-ready.
- Observation-window risk. Type II tests controls over months. A gap found in month five resets the clock — surface it in month zero instead.
- Evidence you cannot produce. Most SOC 2 failures are missing evidence, not missing intent. This flags where AWS-native logging and automation close the gap.
- Unaligned teams. Engineering, security, and leadership read the criteria differently. A shared score aligns everyone on priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a SOC 2 audit?
No. SOC 2 attestation can only be issued by a licensed CPA firm after examining your controls and evidence. This is a self-assessment that helps you understand your gaps and prioritize remediation before you engage an auditor. Think of it as pre-audit triage.
What's the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
Type I evaluates whether your controls are suitably designed at a single point in time. Type II evaluates whether they operated effectively over a period (typically 3–12 months). Type II is what most enterprise buyers require, and it is why closing gaps early matters — the auditor samples evidence across the whole window.
Which Trust Services Criteria does SOC 2 require?
Security (the Common Criteria) is mandatory for every SOC 2 report. Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are optional and included based on your commitments to customers. This checker focuses on Security and Availability, the two most SaaS companies scope in first.
How does AWS help with SOC 2?
AWS's own SOC 2 report (available via AWS Artifact) covers the controls AWS operates — but you still own the controls in your account: IAM, CloudTrail, Config, change management, and monitoring. This assessment checks your side of the shared responsibility model.
