SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance Consulting | Continuous Audit Readiness

Hi-Tex Solutions' SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance Consulting Service, delivered in partnership with Thoropass, takes organizations through the full arc of SOC 2 Type 2 — from initial control design and gap remediation through a complete observation period to a final auditor-attested trust report.

Unlike SOC 2 Type 1 (which documents that controls are designed correctly at a point in time), SOC 2 Type 2 proves your controls operated effectively over a sustained period — typically 6–12 months. This is the standard that enterprise customers, investors, and procurement teams demand before they will trust you with their data. If you're losing deals because prospects ask for a SOC 2 report and you can't provide one, this engagement is the path forward.

Our service integrates directly with AWS Config, AWS CloudTrail, AWS IAM, AWS Security Hub, and AWS GuardDuty to automate continuous evidence collection throughout the observation period. Combined with the Thoropass compliance automation platform, we maintain a living audit trail — so when your auditor asks for 12 months of access logs, change records, and security event data, it's ready immediately rather than assembled manually under pressure.

Readiness Assessment & Gap Analysis Before the observation period begins, we assess your current AWS environment against all applicable Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy) and identify every control gap. You'll know exactly what needs to be built or remediated before the clock starts.

Control Design & Implementation We design and implement the controls required for your chosen TSC scope — including access management policies, change management procedures, incident response, vendor management, and logical access configuration in AWS — so the observation period starts from a position of strength, not remediation.

12-Month Continuous Monitoring Throughout the observation period, Thoropass + AWS integrations collect evidence automatically across your environment. Our vCISO and compliance team monitor for control drift, alert you to gaps before they become findings, and conduct quarterly compliance posture reviews.

Auditor Coordination & Report Issuance We coordinate directly with your AICPA-accredited auditor throughout the engagement and through final report issuance, managing the evidence package, responding to auditor questions, and ensuring the process moves to completion without delays.

Policy & Documentation Library All required policies, procedures, and control narratives — including your System Description and Management Assertion — delivered and maintained throughout the engagement.

Most organizations complete their first SOC 2 Type 2 report within 14–18 months from kickoff: approximately 2–4 months for readiness and remediation, followed by a 6–12 month observation period, and 4–8 weeks for auditor fieldwork and report issuance. Organizations that have already completed SOC 2 Type 1 with Hi-Tex can typically move to Type 2 faster. Contact us for a scoping call — we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your current environment.

This service is ideal for SaaS providers, MSPs, healthcare technology companies, fintech platforms, and any AWS-hosted organization whose enterprise customers, investors, or procurement processes require a current SOC 2 Type 2 report.
