Year-round compliance

SOC 2 Type II requires demonstrating that controls operate effectively over an observation period — not just that they exist on paper. Organizations scramble each audit season to collect months of evidence, chase down control owners, and patch gaps discovered at the last minute. The result: expensive audits, painful surprises, and qualified reports.

How Cisodium Simplifies SOC 2

From initial readiness assessment to clean audit reports — every step covered.

Trust Services Criteria Mapping

All five Trust Services Criteria — Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy — come pre-mapped with their respective points of focus. Assign controls, evidence, and owners to each criterion. Cisodium tracks coverage across all TSC categories so nothing falls through the cracks.

Continuous Control Monitoring

SOC 2 Type II requires demonstrating control effectiveness over time, not just at a point in time. Cisodium continuously monitors control status, flags deviations instantly, and maintains a complete timeline of control operations — giving your auditor exactly the evidence trail they need.

Automated Evidence Collection

Connect your cloud infrastructure, identity providers, ticketing systems, and monitoring tools. Cisodium automatically collects and organizes evidence — access reviews, change management records, uptime logs, encryption configs. Every artifact is timestamped, version-controlled, and mapped to the relevant TSC criterion.

Audit Readiness Dashboard

See your SOC 2 readiness score in real-time, broken down by Trust Services Criterion. Identify missing evidence, incomplete controls, and open findings before your auditor does. Generate pre-audit reports that accelerate the engagement and reduce billable audit hours.

Finding Management & Remediation

Track audit findings from identification through remediation with full accountability. Each finding gets a unique tag (FND-XXXXX) linked to the affected control and criterion. Set remediation owners, deadlines, and priorities — then track closure rates and trends across audit periods.

Cross-Framework Control Reuse

Already compliant with ISO 27001 or NIST CSF? Cisodium automatically maps overlapping controls so you never duplicate work. A single control implementation satisfies requirements across multiple frameworks — reducing total compliance effort by up to 40% for multi-framework organizations.

Beyond Compliance — The ISMP Advantage

SOC 2 controls don't exist in a vacuum. With Cisodium, every control connects to your operational security program — incidents, vulnerabilities, assets, and business continuity.

One control links to your entire security program

Security controls linked to real-time vulnerability and incident data

Availability criteria connected to uptime monitoring and BCP testing

Processing integrity tracked through change management workflows

Confidentiality controls tied to data classification and DLP policies

Privacy criteria mapped to data inventory and consent management

Cross-framework mapping reduces duplicate effort for ISO 27001, NIST, and PCI
