Schedule recurring evidence tasks and reviews
Track exceptions and corrective actions
Reuse relevant controls and evidence across ISO 27001 and NIST CSF 2.0

Support the work behind a SOC 2 Type 2 report

A SOC 2 Type 2 examination considers both the design of controls and whether they operate effectively over a specified period. Essential Compliance helps your team maintain supporting evidence, record exceptions, and follow remediation through that period.

Supports readiness and ongoing control management. The independent SOC 2 examination and report are provided by your CPA firm.

Inside Essential Compliance

One connected workflow for SOC 2 readiness

Bring criteria, control ownership, evidence, and remediation into a connected program, with visibility into the risks those controls are intended to manage.

Organize SOC 2 criteria and ownership

Translate applicable Trust Services Criteria into manageable requirements, with clear ownership and links to policies, controls, and risks. Use the console to review progress and focus attention on incomplete or partially addressed areas.

Connect criteria to the controls your teams operate

Link each criterion to the policies and controls that support it. For example, connect user access reviews to access-control policies, privileged-access approvals, and deprovisioning checks. Reuse relevant controls across frameworks while retaining each framework's context.

Keep evidence current throughout the reporting period

Schedule evidence collection and control reviews at intervals appropriate to your program. Assign the work, monitor collection status, and identify overdue or unsuccessful checks. Keep evidence connected to the controls it supports so your team can trace what was performed and when.

Connect control gaps to business risk

Link SOC 2 control weaknesses to the information security and operational risks they create. Assess remaining exposure, prioritize treatment actions, and monitor progress in Essential ERM. Give management a view of what needs attention and why it matters beyond the audit.

Reuse relevant controls and evidence across related programs while keeping each framework's scope, assessments, and additional requirements distinct.
