SOC 2 Readiness (Type I & II)
Win enterprise deals by proving your controls. We prepare you for SOC 2 Type I and Type II across the Trust Services Criteria, defining controls, closing gaps and readying the evidence your auditor will demand.

What this means. An authorized Solvex administrator registered and approved this exact public identity. What it does not. Solvex has not inspected the account on the platform, and this is not the platform's own verification.
Solvex specialists never ask for your passwords, recovery phrases, one-time codes, or payments to a personal account. Work, scope and invoices are agreed in writing through the official channels on this site.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Written scope firstAdvisory work runs to a written scope agreed before it starts, so what you receive is what was agreed.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- The SOC 2 report is issued by a licensed CPA firm, not us
- Control operation is performed by your organisation
- Type II requires a monitoring period of controls in operation
- Advisory engagement
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What's the difference between Type I and Type II?
- Type I attests your controls are suitably designed at a point in time; Type II attests they operated effectively over a period (typically 3–12 months). Many companies do Type I first, then Type II.
- Do you perform the audit?
- No — a licensed CPA firm issues the SOC 2 report. We get you ready and support you through their examination, and can introduce you to suitable auditors.
- How soon can we be ready?
- Type I readiness is often achievable in two to four months. Type II then needs a monitoring period during which controls must demonstrably operate.
