Work with a SocBridge-certified auditor. Evidence package auto-generated from Iron Fort. Type I report typically issued within 2 weeks of fieldwork start.
Iron Fort monitors continuously for 12 months, collecting daily evidence. Type II audit prep is automated — your report is current every year with minimal lift.
"We were stuck in a $400K ARR enterprise pilot for three months because of 'SOC 2 pending.' Iron Fort got us to Type I in 28 days. Deal closed the following week."
"Our previous SOC 2 process was a 6-week evidence scramble every year. With Iron Fort we collect evidence daily — our auditor said it was the most organized audit package they'd seen."
"The vendor risk module alone is worth it. We had 60+ SaaS vendors with no systematic tracking. Now we have annual reviews automated, risk scores calculated, and CC9.2 satisfied."
A SOC 2 Type I report attests that your security controls are suitably designed as of a specific point in time. A Type II report covers a period (typically 6–12 months) and attests that controls were operating effectively throughout that period. Enterprise buyers typically require Type II, but Type I is a strong starting point that satisfies many procurement security reviews and can be issued much faster.
No — Security (Common Criteria) is the only mandatory category. Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy are optional and are selected based on your product and what your customers care about. Iron Fort's scoping module helps you determine which TSCs are relevant to your business and customer commitments, so you don't over-scope and inflate audit cost and time.
Iron Fort works with any licensed CPA firm that performs SOC 2 examinations. We have an established relationship with SocBridge (our certified delivery partner) and can recommend auditors at various price points. However, if you already have an auditor relationship, Iron Fort's auditor collaboration portal gives them read-only evidence vault access — works with any firm.
During initial setup: typically 20–40 engineering hours over 2–3 weeks (integrating systems, reviewing control mappings, making configuration fixes). After that, ongoing maintenance drops to roughly 2–4 hours per month — mostly reviewing Iron Fort alerts on control drift and approving policy updates. Your annual Type II audit requires an additional 4–8 hours to review and respond to auditor questions.
Yes — Iron Fort's multi-framework overlap detection maps your SOC 2 controls to ISO 27001:2022 Annex A controls simultaneously. Approximately 70% of SOC 2 evidence satisfies corresponding ISO 27001 requirements. This means you run one compliance program and get credit across both frameworks — significantly reducing the cost of pursuing dual certification.
SOC 2 audits typically cost $15,000–$50,000 for a Type II depending on scope and firm. Iron Fort reduces audit cost in two ways: (1) continuous evidence collection means auditors spend less billable time requesting and reviewing evidence; (2) pre-audit gap analysis catches issues before the auditor does, eliminating costly remediation rounds that extend audit timelines. Most customers recover Iron Fort's cost in reduced audit fees within the first engagement.
