Get Started
A SOC 2 report is the primary way enterprise customers verify that you are a safe partner. At TurnKey, we move you beyond a "check-the-box" mentality to build a security culture that satisfies the most demanding procurement teams while actually protecting your business.

Our Methodology in Action

We don't just "do" SOC 2; we apply a proven, modular methodology to every audit examination. By integrating these core disciplines, we ensure your audit examination is faster, your scope is narrower, and your report is cleaner.

  • Precision Scoping: We define your system boundaries so you aren't examinationing parts of your business that don't touch customer data. Learn more about our Scoping & Roadmap process.
  • Risk-First Governance: We drive the mandatory SOC 2 Risk Assessment, identifying your "Crown Jewels" to prove to external auditors that your security spend is targeted at your highest risks. See how we handle Risk Analysis.
  • Compliance by Design: We help your engineering team "bake" evidence collection into your existing tech stack (AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub), ensuring required evidence is properly captured and retained. Explore our Control Design services.
  • External Auditor Examination Coordination: We act as your primary liaison to the CPA firm. We "gatekeep" the evidence that we have collected and manage the walkthroughs with the external auditors, allowing your team to stay focused on building product. See our Audit Coordination approach.

The SOC 2 Type 2 Survival Guide

A Type 2 audit is a marathon, not a sprint. It measures your behavior over 6–12 months. Here is how we ensure you survive the "Observation Period":

  • Avoid "Compliance Drift": We use Managed Compliance to perform periodic health checks so a missed onboarding or a forgotten access review doesn't result in an audit exception.
  • Manage the Paper Trail: We act as your External Audit Coordinator, gathering evidence in real-time so there is no "end-of-year scramble."
  • Resilience: If a control exception occurs, our structure ensures it is documented and handled in a way that proves your controls can be remediated and "Operating Effectively," even under pressure.
