Enterprise buyers won't sign until security review clears β€” and that review is only as good as your evidence.

A vague control matrix, a Type I when the deal needs Type II, or a security questionnaire nobody owns can stall a six-figure contract for months.

The "audit-ready in weeks" pitch
  • Boilerplate policies that don't reflect your actual infrastructure or access controls
  • No evidence collection process β€” screenshots gathered the week before the audit
  • Type II sold like Type I, with no real observation period behind it
  • Vendor security questionnaires answered generically, deal stalls anyway
The DarkDataLabs way
  • Controls mapped to the Trust Services Criteria you're actually pursuing (security, availability, confidentiality, and beyond)
  • An evidence collection cadence built into your existing tools, not a scramble before fieldwork
  • An honest Type I vs. Type II recommendation based on your sales timeline and deal size
  • Questionnaire responses and a control narrative your prospect's security team will accept

SOC 2 Compliance Services β€” straight answers

Can you get us SOC 2 compliant in a week?

No β€” and treat anyone who says yes as a red flag. A Type I report reflects a point-in-time design review and can move faster, but a Type II report requires your controls to actually operate over an observation window, usually 3 to 12 months. A free readiness scan tells you honestly which one your deal timeline actually supports.

What's the real difference between Type I and Type II for our sales team?

A Type I says your controls are designed correctly as of one date. A Type II says they operated correctly over a period of months. Most enterprise security teams will eventually require Type II β€” starting the observation window early is usually the fastest path, not skipping straight to a report.

Our biggest deal is stuck in security review right now β€” can you help on our timeline?

We can typically get you a bridge letter, a control narrative, or interim documentation your prospect's security team will accept while the full engagement runs in parallel. Tell us the deal timeline in the free scan and we'll flag what's realistic within 24 hours.

Do you just write policies, or do you help with the actual evidence collection?

Both. Policies that don't match how your engineers actually work fall apart the moment an auditor asks a follow-up question. We build the evidence collection process into tools you already use, so the artifacts your auditor requests already exist when they ask.

What's a bridge letter and do we need one?

A bridge letter is a short attestation covering the gap between your last audit period end date and today, used when a customer needs assurance before your next report is finished. We prepare these as part of ongoing engagements when a renewal or new deal falls between audit windows.
