SOC 2Gap Assessment
Independent, expert review of your current controls against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria — identifying gaps, evidence weaknesses, and remediation priorities before you engage with your auditor.
- Readiness assessment mapped to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, and beyond).
- Detailed gap analysis across policies, procedures, technical controls, and evidence collection.
- Clear remediation recommendations prioritized by risk and audit impact.
- A pragmatic roadmap to prepare for SOC 2 Type I or Type II examination with confidence.
Our SOC 2 Gap Assessment Gets You Truly Audit-Ready
Preparing for SOC 2 is more than filling templates — it requires a clear understanding of how your environment maps to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and where gaps exist today.
At EntrySec, we combine real-world cybersecurity and governance experience with SOC 2 expectations. We look at how controls are actually operating, how evidence is generated, and how all of this will be viewed by an independent auditor.
Our SOC 2 Gap Assessment gives you a precise, prioritized picture of what needs to change before your Type I or Type II examination. From policies and procedures to technical controls and evidence, we help you move from “we think we’re ready” to “we know where we stand and what to fix.”
What Makes Our SOC 2 Gap Assessment Different?
Baseline Against SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria
We review your current controls, policies, and processes against the Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, and beyond) to establish a clear readiness baseline.
Evidence & Control Design Review
We inspect how controls are actually implemented and evidenced — log retention, access reviews, change management, incident handling — not just what is written on paper.
Policy, Procedure & Documentation Gaps
We identify missing or incomplete policies, procedures, and records required for SOC 2 and provide concrete guidance on how to close each documentation gap.
Technical & Cloud Control Deep-Dive
We analyze your cloud, infrastructure, and application security controls to validate that configurations align with SOC 2 expectations and real-world security best practices.
Risk-Based Remediation Roadmap
We prioritize findings based on impact to your SOC 2 report, helping you focus on the changes that most influence audit outcome and customer trust first.
Auditor-Ready Readiness Report
You receive a structured gap assessment report that can be shared with your auditor and stakeholders, clearly explaining your current posture and remediation plan.
SOC 2 Gap Assessment Roadmap
A clear, audit-focused process that takes you from defining scope and Trust Services Criteria to a structured readiness report you can confidently share with your SOC 2 auditor and stakeholders.
Scope, Objectives & Trust Services Criteria
We define the engagement scope — in-scope systems, services, environments, and which Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy) apply to your organization.
Current-State Control & Documentation Inventory
We review your existing technical controls, policies, procedures, and records to understand how your environment is currently governed, monitored, and secured.
Control Mapping to SOC 2 Requirements
We map your controls and documentation to the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, highlighting where requirements are fully met, partially met, or missing altogether.
Process Walkthroughs & Evidence Review
We perform walkthroughs of key processes — access management, change management, incident response, vendor management, backups, logging, and more — and review available evidence for audit readiness.
Gap Identification, Risk Rating & Impact
We formally document gaps, misalignments, and weaknesses, rating each by risk and impact to your future SOC 2 report and overall customer trust.
Remediation Strategy & Practical Recommendations
We build a prioritized remediation plan with concrete, actionable recommendations across policies, procedures, configurations, and evidence generation practices.
Readiness Check & Updated Gap Status
After you begin remediation, we review key changes, reassess residual gaps, and validate that your environment is aligned with SOC 2 expectations for a Type I or Type II examination.
Audit Preparation & Handoff Support
We prepare a concise gap assessment & readiness report for internal stakeholders and your chosen auditor, ensuring clarity around scope, controls, and remediation progress.

Benefits of a SOC 2 GAP Assessment
A SOC 2 GAP assessment gives you a clear, structured view of how your current controls align with the Trust Services Criteria, and provides a practical roadmap to reach audit-ready maturity for a successful SOC 2 Type I or Type II report.
Complete Visibility of SOC 2 Control Gaps
The GAP assessment compares your current environment, processes, and tooling against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, revealing missing, weak, or inconsistently applied controls.
Ready-for-Audit Remediation Roadmap
You receive a sequenced, prioritized remediation plan that groups actions by Trust Services Criteria and phases them so you know what must be addressed before a Type I or Type II audit.
Clarity on Type I vs Type II Readiness
The assessment clarifies where your controls stand today, which ones need additional operating history, and what timeline is realistic for pursuing SOC 2 Type I or Type II reports.
Stronger Evidence & Documentation
Policies, procedures, diagrams, system descriptions, and control mappings to the Trust Services Criteria are reviewed for completeness so that each in-scope control is clearly supported by evidence.
Reduced SOC 2 Audit Risk & Surprises
By identifying and resolving control and evidence gaps beforehand, you minimize last-minute findings, rework, delays, and the risk of qualifications in the final SOC 2 report.
Decision Support for Leadership & Stakeholders
Leadership receives a clear view of risk, effort, and timelines with scoring by Trust Services Criteria, helping them prioritize investments and commit to an achievable SOC 2 roadmap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers to the most common questions about our SOC 2 Gap Assessment and how we help you achieve a clear, audit-ready security posture.
Most SOC 2 Gap Assessments take between 2–4 weeks depending on your environment size, number of systems in scope, and how much documentation and evidence already exists. Larger SaaS platforms or organisations with multiple cloud environments may take slightly longer.
We review your controls, policies, procedures, evidence, and technical configurations against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. This includes access management, change management, backups, logging, monitoring, vendor management, incident response, risk management, and cloud configurations.
Yes. We give you a clear list of what evidence auditors expect for Type I and Type II, including logs, approvals, tickets, screenshots, reports, and recurring activities such as access reviews, vulnerability scans, and incident logs.
Absolutely. Every identified gap includes a practical, risk-based recommendation. We also provide a prioritised roadmap showing what needs to be fixed first, who should own it, and the expected level of effort.
Yes. We provide optional support, including readiness reviews, evidence walkthroughs, auditor Q&A preparation, and assistance refining your internal processes before the auditor begins testing.
By default, we assess Security (common criteria). If your SOC 2 scope also includes Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, or Privacy, we include these as part of the gap assessment.
Yes. We offer a free consultation to evaluate your SOC 2 readiness, discuss your environment and goals, and recommend the right approach for your assessment and future audit preparation.
