SOC 2 Gap Analysis. Know exactly what you need to build.
Before you invest in building controls, you need to know what is already in place and what is missing. Our SOC 2 gap analysis gives you a criteria-by-criteria assessment, a maturity score, and a prioritised remediation roadmap.
Six deliverables. One complete gap picture.
Criteria-by-Criteria Assessment
A structured review of your current controls against every requirement within your selected Trust Services Criteria, producing a clear conformity rating for each control objective.
Control Maturity Scoring
Each gap is scored by severity and remediation effort, giving you a realistic view of how much work is required and where to focus first to achieve the greatest risk reduction.
Remediation Roadmap
A prioritised action plan with realistic timelines, resource requirements, and dependencies mapped out so your team knows exactly what to build before engaging an auditor.
ISO 27001 Alignment Review
If you hold ISO 27001, we identify which controls already satisfy SOC 2 requirements, reducing duplication and accelerating your path to a clean report.
Critical Gap Identification
Immediate flagging of any gaps that would result in a qualified opinion at audit, so you can address the highest-risk items without delay.
Executive Briefing
A clear, non-technical summary of findings for your board or senior leadership team, including estimated investment and timeline to your first SOC 2 report.
From policy review to remediation roadmap. Six structured steps.
Policy and Documentation Review
We review your existing security policies, risk frameworks, vendor management documentation, and any relevant compliance artefacts to establish a baseline.
Stakeholder Interviews
Structured interviews with your engineering, security, operations, and leadership teams to understand how controls actually operate in practice versus what is documented.
Technical Controls Assessment
Hands-on review of your technical controls including access management, encryption, logging, monitoring, and change management processes.
Gap Scoring
Each identified gap is scored against a consistent framework covering severity, likelihood of audit qualification, and estimated remediation effort.
Roadmap Development
We build a phased remediation roadmap that sequences work logically, respects your resource constraints, and targets your desired SOC 2 report date.
Findings Presentation
We present findings to your project team and leadership, answer questions, and agree the remediation plan before moving to control implementation.
Organisations that needed clarity. Before they committed.
Payment platform pre-audit assessment
A UK fintech processing payments for US enterprise clients received a SOC 2 Type II requirement from their largest customer. Our gap analysis identified 31 gaps across Security and Availability criteria, of which 6 were critical. We delivered a 16-week remediation roadmap that kept their contract renewal on track.
Managed service provider readiness
A UK MSP handling cloud infrastructure for regulated clients needed to understand their SOC 2 readiness before committing to a Type II programme. Our gap analysis confirmed they had strong technical controls but significant gaps in documentation and vendor management. We scoped a focused 10-week remediation programme.
SaaS platform US market entry
A UK SaaS business targeting the US healthcare market needed SOC 2 Type II alongside HIPAA compliance. Our gap analysis identified the overlapping controls and produced a single remediation roadmap covering both frameworks, reducing total effort by approximately 35 percent.
