FAQ

Typical timeline: alongside soc 2, 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. SOC 3 shares substantial control overlap with SOC 2 and ISO 27001, so we build one control set and map evidence across all of them.
