End-to-end implementation across Vanta or Drata, policies, technical controls, evidence, remediation, and audit support.
Take the Free SOC 2 Assessment→You're in the final stages of a deal, maybe it's your first enterprise customer or maybe it's a Fortune 500, and the security questionnaire just landed. They want to see your SOC 2 report and you don't have one. You said "we're working on it," and now the clock is ticking. Every week without a report is a week that deal sits in limbo, and your champion on the other side is losing internal credibility. Deals can stall or disappear at this stage. The good news is that the work can be scoped and started quickly.
Your board brought it up last quarter, and it came up again this quarter. They know SOC 2 is a competitive moat that unlocks enterprise sales, reduces security questionnaire burden, and signals operational maturity to customers and partners. They also know that every month without it is a month where a competitor with a SOC 2 report has an advantage. You need an accountable implementation owner, not a checklist with no one responsible for the technical work.
A customer or prospect sent you a 200-question security questionnaire, and you realized you can't answer half of it honestly. You don't have formal access controls, your logging is minimal, your policies exist in someone's head but not on paper, and you're not sure if your data is encrypted at rest. This is more common than you'd think, and most growing SaaS companies are in this position. The questionnaire is actually a gift: it's showing you exactly what you need to fix. We'll help you move from "we're working on it" to "here's our SOC 2 report."
Hands you policy templates and a checklist
We write policies around your actual operations and implement the technical controls in your infrastructure, including IAM, encryption, and logging
Recommends compliance tools, sends you a setup guide
We configure Vanta or Drata end to end, map controls, connect the relevant systems, and verify that evidence collection is working
Points out gaps in a PDF report, leaves you to figure out the fixes
We fix the gaps directly: IAM policies, encryption, centralized logging, monitoring and alerting, network controls, and backup procedures
Availability drops off as the audit approaches
We stay involved through the audit, coordinate evidence and walkthroughs, and help resolve implementation findings
3-6 month timelines with vague milestones
8-12 weeks for Type I with a detailed week-by-week project plan and clear deliverables at every stage
Compliance analysts with GRC backgrounds but no engineering depth
Technical implementation across your cloud environment and compliance portal, not policy guidance in isolation
We review your cloud architecture, access controls, logging, policies, vendor management, and existing documentation, then map the current state against the applicable SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. The output is a prioritized remediation roadmap with effort estimates.
We help you choose a compliance platform based on your stack and budget, then configure the cloud, identity, HR, version-control, and other relevant integrations. Every in-scope control is mapped and automated evidence collection is verified.
We write the required policies and procedures around information security, access control, change management, incident response, risk, acceptable use, data classification, vendor management, and other in-scope areas. Each policy is adapted to your actual operations and written to be enforceable and auditable.
We implement the technical fixes, including least-privilege IAM, encryption, centralized logging and monitoring, network controls, backup procedures, and CI/CD hardening. The engagement does not stop at a gap report.
We deploy and verify the controls in your cloud environment, test that they operate as documented, and configure alerts where drift or control failures can be detected automatically.
We prepare evidence packages, verify automated collection in the compliance platform, and perform a pre-audit review so gaps can be addressed before formal testing begins.
We work directly with your auditor, coordinate evidence and walkthroughs, answer implementation questions, and help resolve findings. The independent auditor remains responsible for testing and issuing the report.
A structured implementation timeline from kickoff through independent audit, subject to scope and auditor availability.
Controls are designed for sustained operation, not just a one-time audit pass.
Written to match your actual operations, reviewed by your team, and formatted for auditor consumption.
We do not just identify gaps. We implement the agreed fixes in your cloud environment.
Fully connected to your infrastructure with automated evidence collection verified and running.
Continuous monitoring that captures compliance evidence automatically, so you’re always audit-ready.
We coordinate auditor communication, evidence requests, walkthroughs, and implementation remediation.
Renewal support keeps controls, policies, and evidence aligned as your company changes.
Type I & Type II are the primary focus. We handle the implementation from gap assessment through independent audit, including the technical controls that template-only consultancies leave to the client.

Start the AssessmentSOC 2 work often exposes broader infrastructure and platform needs: cloud architecture that needs hardening, systems that need better observability, or a product that must scale for enterprise buyers. Cavanex connects that work through one coordinated delivery model, from the first technical gap through the signed audit report.
