SOC 2 examinations, delivered end to end.
The baseline trust attestation for US and India–based SaaS and IT service providers. Verigo takes you from first gap analysis to a clean SOC 2 opinion — and keeps the evidence engine running so every annual examination is a non–event.
An independent opinion, not a checklist.
SOC 2 is an attestation examination performed by a licensed CPA firm under AICPA standards. The firm examines the controls relevant to your selected criteria and issues an independent report stating its opinion on them.
The examination is built on the five Trust Services Criteria. Verigo’s Compliance by Design approach embeds those controls into how you already operate — so the evidence the examination needs is generated by the process, not assembled in a panic before each window.
One required. Four by choice.
Security
RequiredThe mandatory Common Criteria — logical and physical access, change management, risk mitigation, and monitoring. Every SOC 2 examination includes it.
Availability
OptionalWhether the system meets the uptime and performance commitments made to customers, including capacity, backup, and recovery.
Processing Integrity
OptionalWhether processing is complete, valid, accurate, timely, and authorized — the data goes in and comes out correctly.
Confidentiality
OptionalHow information designated as confidential is protected across its lifecycle, from collection through disposal.
Privacy
OptionalHow personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and disposed of in line with your privacy notice.
Two examinations. Two questions.
A SOC 2 report comes in two forms. The difference is not the controls you build — it is what the examination is asked to prove about them.
Design, at a point in time.
A Type I examination reports on whether your controls are suitably designed to meet the selected Trust Services Criteria as of a single date — a snapshot of how the system is built.
Operating effectiveness, over time.
A Type II examination reports on whether those controls were not only designed well but operated effectively across an observation window — typically three to twelve months of evidence.

Readiness Assessment
Scope the examination and find the gaps before the auditor does.
We help you define the right system boundary and Trust Services Criteria, then benchmark your current controls against them — scoring gaps by risk and effort and handing you an independent remediation roadmap.
About readiness assessmentsImplementation Toolkit
Build the controls and the evidence engine the examination will test.
A practitioner–led program that stands up the policies, controls, and procedures behind each criterion — and the evidence–collection routines that make a Type II observation window run quietly in the background.

Walk into the examination knowing the opinion will be clean.
A mock examination run by a lead reviewer independent of your implementation team — testing evidence against the criteria, surfacing exceptions while there is still time to remediate, and coaching your control owners for auditor walkthroughs.
About pre–audit preparationExamination & Renewal Support
Get the report issued — and keep earning it every year.
We coordinate with the licensed CPA firm that performs the independent examination, manage the evidence and exceptions through to a clean opinion, then keep your evidence engine running so each annual renewal is a non–event.

Here is how a SOC 2 engagement runs in practice — with the observation window that sets a Type II examination apart, and indicative durations.
The outcomes, in detail.
A SOC 2 report is the visible artifact — but the value compounds well beyond the PDF. Here is what the examination actually returns to your business.
A shareable independent report
The deliverable is a licensed CPA firm’s opinion on your controls — a report you can share under NDA to answer security due diligence in one document instead of a hundred emails.
Faster, unblocked sales
Security review is one of the most common reasons enterprise deals stall. A current SOC 2 report removes that blocker and shortens the path from interest to signature.
Less vendor–risk friction
Procurement and vendor–risk teams accept a SOC 2 report in place of bespoke questionnaires, so your team answers diligence once rather than for every prospect.
A repeatable evidence engine
Because controls are embedded into how you operate, each annual renewal draws on evidence the business already generates — the second examination is far lighter than the first.
A foundation you can reuse
The controls behind your SOC 2 map directly onto ISO 27001, HIPAA, and NIST — so the work you do here accelerates every framework that comes next.
A genuinely stronger posture
Beyond the report, the discipline of continuous evidence and monitoring leaves your organization measurably more resilient — not just certified on paper.

Start a ConversationSOC 2 is an attestation examination performed by a licensed CPA firm under AICPA standards. The firm examines the controls relevant to your selected Trust Services Criteria and issues an independent report containing its opinion. It is an examination and opinion — not a pass/fail certification or a checklist audit.
It depends on your timeline and what customers are asking for. A Type I examination reports on control design at a point in time and can be issued quickly, which is useful for entering the market. A Type II examination tests operating effectiveness over a 3–12 month window and is what most enterprise buyers ultimately expect. Many clients publish a Type I first, then move into a Type II observation window.
Security (the Common Criteria) is mandatory in every SOC 2 examination. Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are optional — you select the ones that match the commitments you make to customers. We help you scope the right set in the readiness assessment so the examination is neither thin nor needlessly broad.
No — and that independence is the point. The examination and opinion must be issued by an independent licensed CPA firm. Verigo guides you through readiness, implementation, and preparation, and coordinates the examination, but we keep our pre–examination reviewer independent of your implementation team to protect the integrity of the result.
A SOC 2 report covers a stated period and customers generally expect one issued within the last twelve months. That is why we build a continuous evidence engine: rather than scrambling each year, your controls keep producing the evidence the next examination needs, making annual renewal routine.
