Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free?

Yes, 100% free. No credit card, no trial, no hidden costs. We want to help SaaS companies navigate SOC 2 without expensive consultants.

Who is this checklist for?

SaaS companies (10-500 employees) using cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) preparing for their first SOC 2 Type II audit. Especially useful for CTOs, DevOps leads, and founders handling compliance.

How is this different from other SOC 2 checklists?

Most checklists are generic and theoretical. Ours includes specific AWS/Azure/GCP implementation steps, tool recommendations, cost comparisons, and pro tips from actual audits. It's the checklist we wish existed when we started.

Can I use this to get SOC 2 certified on my own?

Absolutely! Many companies use this as their primary implementation guide. That said, you'll still need an audit firm for the official certification. But this checklist will get you 90% of the way there before engaging the auditor.

How long does SOC 2 Type II take?

With this checklist: 8-12 weeks if you're focused and use automation (like vul.ninja). DIY without automation: 12-18 months. With a consultant: 6-12 months. The timeline depends on your starting point and how much you can automate.

What happens after I download?
