FAQ

Typical timeline: 6-10 weeks, depending on scope, maturity and team availability. We'll give you a firm plan after a two-week scoping and gap assessment.

Yes, that's our specialty. ITGC shares substantial control overlap with SOC 1 and SOC 2, so we build one control set and map evidence across all of them.
