SOC 2 Type I & Type II Compliance Services
Ownux Global delivers Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) compliance services for service organizations and SaaS providers. Our SOC 2 consultants prepare your business for SOC 2 Type I and SOC 2 Type II audits across the five AICPA Trust Service Criteria, from readiness assessment through clean auditor opinion.
SOC 2 Attestation Report Services
A SOC 2 attestation report is an independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firm's opinion on how a service organization protects customer data. The SOC 2 report covers security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Buyers in software-as-a-service, cloud computing, and managed services use the SOC 2 report as a primary trust signal during vendor due diligence.
Ownux Global supports startups, scale-ups, and established enterprises through every stage of the SOC 2 journey. Our SOC 2 consulting team selects applicable Trust Service Criteria, builds and documents controls, coordinates the formal SOC 2 audit, and prepares your evidence so the report your customers receive accurately reflects your security posture.
Market Credibility
Signal operational maturity and security discipline to enterprise buyers, partners, and regulators with an independently verified SOC 2 report from a licensed CPA firm.
Customer Assurance
Replace lengthy security questionnaires with a single trusted SOC 2 attestation that answers the questions your buyers ask during procurement and renewal cycles.
Competitive Edge
Unlock procurement processes that gate vendors behind SOC 2 compliance, a common requirement for enterprise contracts in regulated industries.
Why SOC 2 Compliance Is Challenging for Businesses
SOC 2 compliance requires ongoing discipline across engineering, IT, human resources, and operations teams. Most service organizations stall on documentation, evidence collection, or audit coordination. Ownux Global removes the guesswork from your SOC 2 readiness program.
Mapping Trust Service Criteria to Controls
Translating the AICPA Trust Service Criteria into concrete, auditable SOC 2 controls is difficult without prior audit experience.
Our Solution:
We map each applicable Trust Service Criterion to practical controls aligned with how your systems and team actually operate.
Heavy Policy and Procedure Documentation
SOC 2 requires written, approved, and enforced policies for information security, incident response, access control, vendor management, and human resources.
Our Solution:
We provide audit-ready SOC 2 policy templates tailored to your environment and walk your team through approval and rollout.
SOC 2 Aligned Risk Assessment
Your risk assessment must justify the SOC 2 scope, control selection, and residual risk treatment in a format auditors accept.
Our Solution:
Our SOC 2 consultants run a structured risk assessment that produces the evidence the audit will request.
Limited In-House SOC 2 Expertise
Most engineering and operations teams have never been through a SOC 2 audit and lack the playbooks to prepare efficiently.
Our Solution:
We embed with your team as fractional SOC 2 compliance experts, handling the heavy lifting while transferring knowledge.
Continuous Evidence Collection
SOC 2 Type II audits require evidence across the full observation window, including access reviews, change tickets, monitoring logs, and approval records.
Our Solution:
We design evidence collection workflows and tooling integrations so SOC 2 evidence is captured automatically as work happens.
Audit Coordination Pressure
Managing the auditor's information requests, sample selections, and follow-up questions can overwhelm small teams during a SOC 2 audit.
Our Solution:
We act as your SOC 2 audit project manager, triaging requests and preparing responses so engineering stays focused.

Connect with Ownux Global so our SOC 2 consultants can baseline your current security posture and identify which Trust Service Criteria apply to your business.

SOC 2 Audit Process Step by Step
Ownux Global benchmarks your current controls against SOC 2 requirements and produces a clear SOC 2 gap report with prioritized remediation actions.
We define which systems, services, and Trust Service Criteria are in scope so the SOC 2 audit boundary is unambiguous to your CPA auditor and your customers.
We run a SOC 2 aligned risk assessment that identifies threats to in-scope systems and informs the control set you will implement and test for the SOC 2 audit.
We draft, review, and finalize information security, access control, vendor management, incident response, and human resources policies required for SOC 2 compliance.
We deploy technical and operational SOC 2 controls across your environment, including multi-factor authentication, logging and monitoring, change management workflows, vendor reviews, and access provisioning.
We set up automated and manual evidence workflows so access reviews, change tickets, monitoring alerts, and approvals accumulate audit-ready SOC 2 evidence as work happens.
Our team runs an internal SOC 2 pre-audit to surface gaps and remediate findings before the formal CPA auditor sees them, eliminating surprises during fieldwork.
The CPA firm evaluates the design of your SOC 2 controls at a point in time and issues the SOC 2 Type I report. The Type I report is your first SOC 2 credential to share with customers and prospects.
During the SOC 2 Type II observation window of 3, 6, or 12 months, we monitor controls, address exceptions, and keep evidence collection on track for a clean auditor opinion.
The auditor evaluates operating effectiveness across the observation window and issues the final SOC 2 Type II report. The Type II report is the gold standard that enterprise buyers expect from SaaS vendors and service organizations.
The Five AICPA Trust Service Criteria
The Trust Service Criteria are the framework that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) uses to evaluate SOC 2 reports. Security is the only required category. The other four categories are optional and chosen based on the commitments your service organization makes to customers.
Security
Security is the only required Trust Service Criterion in every SOC 2 report. The Security category protects systems and data against unauthorized access, disclosure, and damage.
- Access controls and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Network and infrastructure protection
- Vulnerability and patch management
- Incident response procedures
Availability
The Availability criterion confirms that systems are available for operation and use as committed in customer service level agreements (SLAs) and contracts.
- Capacity planning and performance monitoring
- Disaster recovery procedures
- Business continuity planning
- Uptime tracking and reporting
Processing Integrity
The Processing Integrity criterion confirms that system processing is complete, accurate, timely, and authorized. Processing Integrity is most relevant for transaction processors and data platforms.
- Input validation and quality controls
- Error detection and correction
- Job monitoring and alerting
- Data processing accuracy reviews
Confidentiality
The Confidentiality criterion protects information designated as confidential, including contracts, intellectual property, and internal financial records, across the entire data lifecycle.
- Data classification policies
- Encryption in transit and at rest
- Non-disclosure agreements and access restrictions
- Secure data destruction practices
Privacy
The Privacy criterion addresses how personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of in line with your published privacy notice.
- Notice and consent management
- Data subject rights handling
- Retention and deletion controls
- Third-party privacy oversight

SOC 2 Type I vs SOC 2 Type II Reports
A SOC 2 Type I report evaluates the design of controls on a single date. A SOC 2 Type II report evaluates both the design and the operating effectiveness of controls across a defined observation period. Enterprise buyers usually require a SOC 2 Type II report for ongoing vendor relationships.
