Scope, build and evidence a SOC 2 programme end to end, with a complete worked documentation pack.
Explain precisely what a SOC 2 report is and is not: an attestation report from a CPA firm, not a certificate, with no regulator behind it
Scope an examination: choose trust services categories, draw the system boundary, handle subservice organisations, and pick Type 1 or Type 2
Work through the Common Criteria CC1 to CC9 and the optional categories, and build a control matrix mapping your controls to the criteria
Produce the documents an examination turns on: risk assessment, policy set, system description against DC1 to DC9, and an evidence calendar
Run a gap analysis and internal audit, prepare for fieldwork and the management assertion, and read a finished SOC 2 report as a buyer does
RequirementsNo prior audit, compliance or accounting experience is required - the course starts from what a SOC 2 report actually is
Familiarity with how your own company builds and runs its software or service, so you can apply the templates to a real system
Description"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
SOC 2 is an attestation report issued by a CPA firm. It is not a certificate, there is no certifying body, and no regulator requires it. What makes it unavoidable is procurement: enterprise buyers ask for it, and the deal stalls until you have one. That is how most teams end up running a programme nobody trained them for.
This course takes you from that starting point to a defensible, audit-ready SOC 2 programme, and hands you the working paperwork section by section as you go.
You will start by clearing away the myths - what a SOC 2 report proves, who may issue it, how it differs from SOC 1, SOC 3 and ISO 27001, and which documents actually sit underneath an examination: the trust services criteria, the description criteria, and the AT-C attestation standards as amended by SSAE No. 21. AT-C 320 is the SOC 1 standard, not yours, and we correct that one head on.
From there you scope the engagement. Security is the mandatory category; every other one is a decision with consequences. You will draw a system boundary, place products, environments and legal entities inside or outside it, handle subservice organisations as carve-out or inclusive, and choose between Type 1 and Type 2.
The core of the course walks the common criteria CC1 through CC9 and the optional availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy categories, building a control matrix in passes. Criteria are treated as what they are: objectives. The AICPA does not publish a control list, points of focus are illustrative considerations rather than requirements, and the matrix you build here is one defensible set among many.
You then write the documents an examination actually turns on - a risk assessment that survives testing, a policy set that agrees with itself, a system description drafted against the description criteria, and an evidence calendar covering a full Type 2 period. The closing sections cover gap analysis and remediation, selecting a service auditor, fieldwork and the provided-by-client list, management's written assertion, exceptions, the four opinion types, and life after the report: bridge letters, customer questionnaires, and reading somebody else's SOC 2 as a buyer.
Every section releases its own documents as you reach it - over forty policies, registers, matrices, workbooks and templates, filled with worked example content rather than blank stubs.
This is implementation guidance, not legal or accounting advice.
Who this course is forSecurity, compliance and engineering leads at SaaS and service companies whose enterprise deals now depend on a SOC 2 report
Founders, CTOs, GRC analysts and consultants running a SOC 2 programme, and vendor-risk reviewers who must read somebody else's report
