SOC2 Secure Cloud

A structured accelerator that takes you from SOC2 readiness through to a fully compliant, production-grade cloud environment — covering every control domain along the way.

01

Readiness Assessment

Before any implementation work begins, we assess your current environment against the SOC2 Trust Service Criteria. The output is a prioritised gap report that tells you exactly what controls are in place, what is missing, and what needs to change — giving you a clear picture of effort and risk before committing to a timeline.

Control Gap Analysis

Map your current state against all five SOC2 Trust Service Criteria: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy.

Risk Prioritisation

Rank gaps by severity and likelihood so remediation effort is focused where it matters most.

Evidence Inventory

Identify what audit evidence already exists and what still needs to be created or automated.

Scope Definition

Define the systems, services, and boundaries that will be in scope for the audit.

02

Design

Using the readiness assessment as input, we design a target architecture that satisfies all required SOC2 controls without over-engineering. Every design decision is traceable to a specific control, so nothing is built speculatively and nothing required is missed.

Secure Network Architecture

VPC design, segmentation, private endpoints, and perimeter controls aligned to SOC2 requirements.

IAM & MFA Strategy

Least-privilege access model, role definitions, MFA enforcement, and service account governance.

Logging & Monitoring Blueprint

Centralised log aggregation, alerting rules, and audit trail design to satisfy SOC2 availability and security criteria.

Config & Change Management

Policy-as-code design for config compliance, drift detection, and controlled change workflows.

03

Implementation

The accelerator delivers pre-built, audit-ready modules that implement the agreed design. Everything is codified, tested, and documented — so controls are repeatable, verifiable, and maintainable long after the initial audit.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Terraform modules for all SOC2-required infrastructure — versioned, peer-reviewed, and deployed through CI/CD.

IAM & MFA Enforcement

Automated provisioning of roles, policies, and MFA requirements with zero standing access for privileged operations.

Logging & Monitoring

Deployed log pipelines, SIEM integration, and alerting rules with out-of-the-box dashboards for SOC2 evidence collection.

Config Management

Continuous compliance checks via policy-as-code, with automated remediation and drift reporting baked in.

04

Conversational Remediation Agent

This is an agentic accelerator at its core — compliance isn't a dashboard you interpret, it's an agent you talk to. Ask it where you stand, pull up any past run, and let it propose and apply fixes directly through your CLI and IaC — all from the same conversation.

Conversational Compliance Queries

Ask the agent things like "what's failing right now?" or "how are we doing on IAM controls?" and get a direct answer from live state — no dashboard required.

Full Run History

Every check the agent runs is logged. Ask it to pull up any previous run to see what was found, what was fixed, and what's changed since.

Suggested Fixes

For every finding, the agent proposes a specific remediation in plain language before anything is touched — so you always know what's about to change and why.

Applies Fixes & Opens PRs

With your go-ahead, the agent executes the fix directly through the CLI, or updates the affected Terraform modules and opens a pull request for review.
