Compliance and Audit Preparation
SOC 2 Compliance Services
A clear path to SOC 2 readiness and a report your customers can trust.
SOC 2 is one of the most common ways service organizations prove they protect customer data and operate with consistent controls. Nexeris helps you scope the report, implement the right controls, and build evidence habits that make the audit process smoother.
Why SOC 2 Matters
SOC 2 often shows up when you start selling to larger customers.
Procurement teams want assurance that security and privacy controls are not just documented, but operating consistently. A strong SOC 2 program reduces back-and-forth during sales cycles, improves trust, and gives your team a structured way to run security controls day to day.
Common Reasons Teams Engage Us
- Customers are asking for a SOC 2 report during procurement
- You need a clear path from current state to audit readiness
- You want to reduce the scramble that happens during evidence collection
- You want a program that is maintainable after the report is issued

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2?
Type 1 evaluates design of controls at a point in time. Type 2 evaluates whether controls operated effectively over a period of time.
How long does SOC 2 take?
It depends on your starting point and audit window. We help you build a timeline that matches your goals and internal capacity.
Do you perform the SOC 2 audit?
No. A licensed CPA firm performs the audit. We help you prepare and build the program so the audit is smoother.
Which Trust Services Criteria should we include?
Most organizations start with Security, then add Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, or Privacy based on customer needs.
Can SOC 2 overlap with ISO 27001 or other frameworks?
Yes. There is significant overlap. We can help reduce duplicate work by aligning evidence and governance where it makes sense.
