Compliance Automation
SOC 2, without the nine-month fire drill.
Nobody is short of a control list — your platform ships one and your auditor hands you another, all mapped to the same criteria. SOC 2 projects stall on the next part: making a hundred generic controls actually true inside your systems, and proving they stayed true. That's the part we do.
Free checklist: the 40 SOC 2 controls that actually failLuxeran is not a CPA firm. We do not perform SOC 2 examinations and we do not issue SOC 2 reports — we do readiness, implementation, control remediation, and evidence management.

Why SOC 2 now
It stopped being optional.
Security questionnaires used to arrive after the contract. Now they arrive before the demo. If you sell to companies above a few hundred employees, or handle their customers' data, SOC 2 is the price of being in the conversation — and “we're working on it” has a short shelf life.
Deals sitting in security review
Procurement won't sign without a report, and every week of delay is a week the champion cools off.
A platform nobody finished configuring
You bought Drata or Vanta, the dashboard is 60% red, and nobody owns the other 40%.
Evidence gathered by hand
Screenshots in a shared drive, chased down the week your auditor asks, for a Type II window that runs for months.
Controls that drift after Type I
The point-in-time report came back clean. Six months later offboarding is manual again and the Type II window is compromised.
How we engage
Three phases. Take one or all three.
Each phase stands alone and ends with something you own — no engagement depends on booking the next one.
Readiness Sprint
2–3 weeksKnow exactly what stands between you and a report.
A gap assessment against the Trust Services Criteria you actually need, plus the decisions that are expensive to reverse later: which platform, which auditor, which systems are in scope.
- Gap assessment against selected TSC
- Scope definition (systems, people, vendors)
- Platform selection & auditor shortlist
- Prioritized roadmap with owners and dates
- Effort and cost estimate for the full program
Controls Buildout
8–16 weeksClose the gaps before your auditor arrives.
The implementation phase. Policies written to match how you actually operate, controls remediated in the real systems, and the platform configured so the evidence lines up with the controls.
- Policy set adapted to how you actually operate, then approved
- Technical remediation: MFA, RBAC, logging, backups, encryption
- Onboarding / offboarding and access request flows
- Vendor and risk management program
- Security awareness and policy sign-off
- Support through your auditor's Type I review
Continuous Compliance
MonthlySurvive the Type II window.
Type II isn't an event, it's 3 to 12 months of proving the controls kept operating. This is where the automation pays for itself — and where most teams quietly fall behind.
- Automated evidence collection pipelines
- Control drift alerting
- Quarterly access reviews, run and filed
- Vendor review cycle
- Incident and change management upkeep
- Support through your auditor's Type II review
Pricing on request. Every engagement is scoped to outcomes, not hours.
The difference
Compliance that collects its own evidence.
This is the part the control list doesn't cover and the compliance platform doesn't do for you. The platform tells you a control failed; something still has to make it pass, every time, without a human remembering.
Evidence pipelines
Scheduled pulls from cloud, CI/CD, MDM, and HR systems into the platform — dated, attributed, and legible to your auditor.
Access reviews on rails
Quarterly reviews that generate themselves, route to the right owner, chase the stragglers, and archive the sign-off.
Joiner / mover / leaver
Provisioning and deprovisioning wired to your HR system so offboarding is a record, not a memory.
Vendor review cycle
Renewal dates, SOC 2 report collection, and risk re-scoring that fire on schedule instead of the week your auditor asks.
Control drift alerts
A failing check reaches Slack the day it fails, not the week the auditor samples it.
Observation-window reporting
A standing view of where the observation window actually stands, so there are no surprises when your auditor starts sampling.
Tooling
Platform-agnostic, auditor-neutral.
We implement on whichever compliance platform fits your stack and budget — Drata, Vanta, Sprinto, Secureframe — or on your own tooling if a platform isn't worth the subscription yet. We're not a reseller and we take no referral fees, so the recommendation is just the recommendation.

SOC 2 is not a certification — nobody can certify you. It is a report issued by an independent licensed CPA firm after they examine your controls, and by design that firm cannot be the party that built them. Luxeran is not a CPA firm: we do not examine controls and we do not issue reports. We get you ready, and we help you pick a firm that fits your size and timeline.
Experience
Run, not researched.
Luxeran has run SOC 2 readiness for a B2B SaaS company end to end through Type I and Type II — platform selection, auditor selection, scoping, control implementation across cloud and identity, remediation, and evidence automation — as the single person accountable for the program. The control set came predefined, the way it always does. The report was issued by an independent firm. Everything in between — turning a generic control into something true in a real stack, and producing evidence a stranger would accept — is the work, and it's the work we sell.
Client names and program artifacts stay confidential. Happy to walk through the mechanics in detail on a call.
Questions
The things everyone asks first.
Type I or Type II — which do I need?
Type I says your controls were designed correctly at a point in time. Type II says they actually operated over a window of 3 to 12 months. Enterprise buyers increasingly want Type II, but Type I is the fastest way to unblock a deal while the window runs. Most teams do Type I, then roll straight into the Type II window.
Do you issue the SOC 2 report?
No, and nobody should offer to. SOC 2 isn't a certification — it's a report an independent licensed CPA firm issues after examining your controls, and that firm can't be the one that built them. We do readiness, implementation, control remediation, and evidence management. The examination and the report stay with your auditor, which is exactly what makes the report worth anything to your buyer.
Aren't the controls predefined anyway?
Yes — and that's the part most people misread as the hard part. Your platform ships a control set, your auditor hands you a request list, and they all map to the same criteria. The list is a commodity; no program fails for lack of one. Programs fail on the hundred small collisions between a generic control and your actual stack. The control says access is reviewed quarterly; you have to decide what that means for a Postgres role, a Datadog seat, and a contractor's repo access — then produce evidence a stranger will accept. That translation is the job, and it's the only part that takes real engineering.
How long does it take?
From a standing start, realistically 3 to 5 months to a Type I report for a team under 100 people, then the observation window on top. The variable isn't the paperwork — it's how much technical remediation your stack needs.
What drives the cost?
Three separate line items: our engagement, the compliance platform subscription, and the auditor's fee. Scope is the main lever on all three — how many systems, how many people, and how many Trust Services Criteria beyond Security you include.
Do I have to buy a compliance platform?
No, but for most teams it pays for itself in evidence handling alone. If you're very small or very unusual, we'll tell you when the subscription isn't worth it yet.
Can you work with an auditor we already picked?
Yes. We work to whatever your auditor's request list looks like, and we'd rather inherit an auditor you trust than push one of ours.
What if we already started and stalled?
Common, and usually cheaper to fix than starting over. The Readiness Sprint is built for exactly this: find out what's real, what's theater, and what's left.
Do you handle ISO 27001, HIPAA, or GDPR too?
The control work overlaps heavily, and the automation is the same automation. SOC 2 is where we lead; ask on the call and we'll be straight with you about fit.
