AWS SOC 2 Readiness Assessment – 6-Week Audit Prep & Gap Analysis

Your customers are asking for SOC 2. Your sales team is losing deals without it. Your engineering leads don't have time to figure out which of the AICPA Trust Services Criteria apply to your AWS environment, which controls you already partially satisfy, and where your real gaps are. You don't need a nine-month consulting engagement. You need a focused, expert-led readiness assessment that tells you exactly where you stand and exactly what to fix — fast.

The Hex Networks SOC 2 Readiness Assessment is a fixed-scope, six-week engagement that gets AWS-native companies from "we should probably do SOC 2" to "we have a clear path to a Type II report." We're a Vanta service partner with a 100% audit pass rate across our SOC 2 client base.

This offer includes:

• Trust Services Criteria scoping — Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy
• Comprehensive gap analysis mapped to your existing AWS controls (IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, CloudTrail, Config, KMS, Secrets Manager, VPC architecture, backup posture)
• Control inventory documenting what you have, what needs configuration, and what needs new tooling
• Vanta integration setup — automated evidence collection wired into your AWS accounts
• Policy and procedure template package — Information Security Policy, Access Control Policy, Incident Response Plan, Vendor Management, Change Management, and 12 other required documents, customized to your environment
• Remediation roadmap prioritized by audit risk, effort, and cost — with realistic 3-month, 6-month, and 9-month audit-ready timelines
• Executive readiness report suitable for board, investor, or sales-leadership sharing
• Auditor introduction to firms we've worked with successfully

Typical engagement: 6 weeks. Weeks 1–2: scoping interviews, AWS architecture review, control discovery, Hex Sweeper scan. Weeks 3–4: gap analysis, AWS control mapping, Vanta integration architecture. Week 5: documentation package — policies, procedures, asset inventory, risk register. Week 6: executive readout, roadmap delivery, auditor handoff.

We've taken AWS-native SaaS companies from zero compliance posture to SOC 2 Type II reports in 3–6 months — roughly 60% faster than internal-only preparation. 100% of our clients have passed their first audit. This assessment is also suitable as the foundation for ISO 27001, HIPAA, GxP, and PCI DSS compliance work. We're a Vanta service partner and aligned with AWS Security Best Practices.
