SOC 2 Type II
Done Right. Done Once.
Stop Losing Enterprise Deals to "We Need Your SOC 2."
We're a SOC 2 Type 2 certified team ourselves — we've been through the audit, maintained the controls, and know exactly what auditors look for. We take you from gap assessment to certified in a straight line, without the delay and rework that kills most SOC 2 programs.
Guided By a Certified Team
Work with a team that has already passed the audit you're preparing for.
Most SOC 2 consultants guide you through the framework from the outside. We're SOC 2 Type 2 certified ourselves — which means we know exactly which evidence collection gaps fail audits, which controls are harder to maintain than they look, and what auditors spend the most time scrutinizing. That experience cuts months off the timeline and eliminates the rework most companies go through before they get to a clean report.

What Changes
What SOC 2 Type II actually does for your business.
Enterprise Deals Stop Stalling
Procurement teams at larger companies require SOC 2 before signing. A Type II report removes that barrier — and signals you take security seriously.
Security Questionnaires Get Easy
Instead of filling out lengthy vendor questionnaires for every new client, you share your report. The questions are already answered.
Your Security Posture Gets Real
SOC 2 requires controls that actually operate — not just policies that exist. The process forces the security improvements most businesses already know they need.
Cyber Insurance Gets Easier
Insurers look favourably on SOC 2 certified organizations. Documented controls, tested backups, and access management translate directly to better terms.
What We Cover
Everything the audit will test for.
Gap Assessment
We map your current environment against all five SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and produce a prioritized list of what needs to be fixed — with no fluff, just a clear to-do list.
Control Implementation
We implement the technical and organizational controls required by your chosen criteria. Access management, encryption, logging, incident response procedures, and more.
Policy Documentation
The written policies SOC 2 requires — access control, change management, vendor management, acceptable use, and incident response — drafted in language auditors accept.
Evidence Collection
SOC 2 Type II requires evidence that controls operated consistently over the observation period. We build and maintain the evidence library throughout the year.
Audit Coordination
We work directly with the auditor — answering questions, providing evidence, and handling the back-and-forth so your team isn't pulled off their work to manage it.
Ongoing Maintenance
After certification, we maintain your controls, collect monthly evidence, and keep you ready for annual re-certification without the year-end scramble.
If enterprise deals are stalling at "we need your SOC 2," that's a fixable problem. Let's fix it.

SOC 2 sits on top of a complete IT program.
The controls SOC 2 requires — monitoring, access management, incident response — are the same things a well-run IT environment needs. We connect both.

What your business looks like with a clean SOC 2 report.
Client result
“We'd been working toward SOC 2 for two years with nothing to show for it. ETG came in, identified the 11 control gaps we actually had, and had us audit-ready in four months. The auditor said it was one of the most organized evidence packages they'd seen from a company our size.”

Why SOC 2 Type II
The difference between Type I and Type II — and why most enterprise buyers only accept Type II.
SOC 2 Type I says your controls are designed correctly at a point in time. SOC 2 Type II says your controls operated correctly over an extended period — typically three to twelve months. That distinction matters because enterprise procurement teams have seen enough Type I reports from companies whose controls looked good on paper but failed in practice. Type II requires an independent auditor to test that your controls actually worked, consistently, over time. That's the standard most large customers and regulated industries require.
The most common reason SOC 2 programs stall is evidence collection. The controls get implemented correctly, but nobody maintains the ongoing documentation that proves they operated through the observation period. Auditors need logs, screenshots, approval records, and access reviews — and they need them for every month of the observation window. If your evidence collection process is inconsistent, the audit gets extended, findings get issued, and the clean report takes another cycle to earn.
The advantage of working with a team that has already been through SOC 2 Type II themselves is that we know which evidence gaps are most common, which controls auditors scrutinize most carefully, and how to build a collection process that runs automatically rather than requiring manual effort each month. The businesses that get to a clean report fastest are the ones who treat evidence collection as a continuous operation — not a pre-audit project.
“We went through SOC 2 Type II ourselves before we started guiding clients through it. That experience — understanding exactly what auditors look for and where evidence packages fall short — is the reason our clients get to a clean report without the extra cycle most programs require.”
