❓ FAQ

What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

Type I assesses the design of controls at a point in time, while Type II assesses design and operating effectiveness over a period (typically 6-12 months).

Which Trust Service Criteria are required for SOC 2?

Security (Common Criteria CC1-CC9) is required for every SOC 2 report; the other four (Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy) are optional based on business needs.

How do I generate a control matrix?

Use the workflow: select applicable TSC categories, run control_matrix_builder.py to generate a baseline, customize controls, assign owners and evidence, and validate coverage.
