SOC 2 is the currency of enterprise trust. We replace the manual chaos of spreadsheets with an automated, engineering-first readiness engine.
Automated Evidence Collection Via
It's not just a PDF. It’s a rigorous audit of how you handle data. Here is everything you need to know to survive the process.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an auditing procedure ensuring your service providers securely manage your data. It covers the five "Trust Services Criteria":
"Do you have a firewall policy?"
Audits your design at a single point in time. Good for starting out.
"Did the firewall block traffic for 6 months?"
Audits operational effectiveness over time. Required by Enterprises.
Why do companies spend $20k+ on this? Because procurement teams block vendors without it. SOC 2 is the "VIP Pass" that bypasses the 40-page security questionnaire.
"Security requirements satisfied via SOC 2 Type II report. Proceeding to contract."
Agents (Vanta/Drata) watch your AWS & Github 24/7.
If a dev merges code without review, an alarm triggers.
The auditor reviews the logs to see if you fixed the alarm.
A Readiness Assessment is a dress rehearsal. The Audit is the performance.
You should never start an official audit until you have passed a Readiness Assessment.
The "Safe Space"
The "Permanent Record"
This is the artifact that unlocks enterprise revenue. We ensure every section is bulletproof.
This is the licensed CPA's formal verdict. It is the only page most procurement teams read.
A legal "Attestation" signed by your executive team. You are formally stating that you have designed the system to meet SOC 2 standards.
An intensive narrative chapter (often 30+ pages) documenting every aspect of your control environment.
The heart of the report. A massive table mapping every AICPA criteria to your specific internal rules.
The auditor's receipts. For a Type II, this proves they watched you for 6-12 months.
| ID | Control | Last Check | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| CC1.2 | Board Oversight & Ethics | 2h ago | PASS |
| CC6.1 | AWS MFA Enforcement | 1m ago | PASS |
| CC6.7 | Data Transmission Enc. | 5m ago | FAIL |
| CC8.1 | Vulnerability Scans | 12h ago | PASS |
| A1.2 | Disaster Recovery Test | 1d ago | PASS |
We integrate directly with your tech stack (AWS, GitHub, Jira) to automatically gather evidence.
Instead of taking 500 screenshots manually, our engine pulls the configuration data every hour, creating an audit trail that is impossible to refute.
SOC 2 is modular. "Security" is the base layer; add other modules based on your customer's specific risk profile.
The foundational criteria required for every SOC 2 report. Covers access control, firewalls, and HR security.
Ensures systems are up and running as agreed. Critical for SaaS platforms with strict SLAs.
Protects sensitive data from unauthorized access. Essential if you handle NDA-protected IP.
Ensures system processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized. Key for fintech/payments.
Addresses the collection, use, retention, disclosure, and disposal of personal information (PII).
Most companies treat SOC 2 as a checkbox. This leads to three distinct "Anti-Patterns" that burn cash and result in a useless report.
Hiring a "cheap" CPA who doesn't actually audit anything.
Buying Vanta or Drata and thinking the software does the work.
Letting the auditor define your scope (e.g., auditing dev environments).
We don't just write Word documents. We implement security controls directly in your infrastructure code (Terraform) and application logic.
This ensures that compliance is "baked in" to your deployment pipeline, preventing developers from accidentally deploying non-compliant resources.
You aren't paying for "advice". You are acquiring a tangible, licensed security stack. These are the three permanent assets we transfer to your ownership.
ASSET: 25+ POLICY DOCS
Before we touch a server, we must define the laws of your digital nation. Auditors audit your intent first. These documents prove you have a legally binding plan for data safety.
ASSET: TERRAFORM CODE
Policies are just promises. We write code that forces those promises to be true. This software physically prevents developers from making security mistakes, essentially "automating" your willpower.
ASSET: AUDIT PIPELINES
Auditors don't trust screenshots (they can be faked). We build live data pipelines that stream your security status directly to the auditor. It proves you are secure every single second, not just today.
A deterministic manufacturing process for your SOC 2 report.
We figure out exactly what needs to be audited—and what doesn't.
"Most auditors over-scope you, asking you to secure things that don't matter. We ruthlessly cut the scope down to the essentials (e.g. Production only) to save you months of work."
We install the controls and fix the gaps found in step 1.
"This is where the work happens. Instead of giving you a PDF of 'recommendations', our engineers actually push code to your repo. We configure AWS, set up Github branch protection, and fix the settings for you."
We prove your controls work over time.
"For SOC 2 Type II, you need a 'period of observation'. We hook up our automated monitoring tools (Vanta/Drata) to collect evidence 24/7 while you focus on building product. If a control fails, we fix it immediately."
The auditor verifies our evidence.
"Since we've been collecting evidence automatically, the audit is a non-event. We handle the interviews with the CPA firm. You just show up for the kickoff and the celebration."
You receive your SOC 2 Type II Report.
"This isn't just a PDF; it's a key that unlocks enterprise deals. We help you showcase it in your sales process to close bigger contracts faster."
You have three options. Only one makes sense for a modern tech company.
| Comparison Factor | Legacy Firm (Big 4) | DIY Automation (SaaS) | Psyberbull |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineering Effort | High (Manual Screenshots) | Extreme (You fix everything) | Zero (We write the code) |
| Speed to Readiness | 3-6 Months | Variable (Depends on you) | 2-9 Weeks (Guaranteed) |
| Expert Guidance | Junior Associates | Chatbot Support | Senior Security Engineers |
| Cost Predictability | Hourly Billable (High) | Subscription + Add-ons | Fixed Fee (All-in) |
We are so confident in our engineering offering that we bear the risk. If you fail the audit due to our advice or configuration, we refund your readiness fees in full.
The audit returns every year. A vCISO manages the program continuously, ensuring you never scramble for evidence again.
We guarantee you pass your SOC 2 Type I or Type II audit. If there are any gaps, we fix them at no extra cost.
Type I is a snapshot (design of controls) and is faster/cheaper. Type II is a period of observation (usually 3-6 months) proving controls usually work. Enterprise clients usually demand Type II.
With our 'Policy-as-Code' approach, we minimize disruption. Expect ~10 hours of initial config (Vanta/Drata setup) and then minimal maintenance. We write the policies for you.
No. Only 'Security' is mandatory. We help you scope the others based on what your clients actually ask for (e.g., Availability for SaaS, Privacy for B2C).
Yes. For SOC 2 Type II, an external penetration test is a mandatory control. We include this in our full-service package so you don't need a separate vendor.
You can, but Vanta is just a tool—it gives you 100+ alerts but doesn't fix them. We act as the pilot, configuring the tool, writing the policies, and actually fixing the cloud configuration issues it finds.
For Type I: 2 weeks. For Type II: 3 months (minimum observation period). If you are in a rush to close a deal, we can issue a 'Letter of Engagement' immediately to appease enterprise procurement teams.
A 'Management Response' allows us to explain the exception. Unless it's a systemic failure, one or two small gaps usually won't result in a 'Qualified' (bad) opinion.
There is about 80% overlap. Once we have your SOC 2 controls in place, mapping them to HIPAA or GDPR is a small incremental step. We can add those frameworks to your evidence collector easily.
