SOC 2 Readiness Assessment
Genesis Solutions delivers SOC 2 readiness assessments that identify control gaps against Trust Services Criteria before your formal audit — giving you a prioritized remediation roadmap so you pass the first time.
What Is a SOC 2 Readiness Assessment?
A SOC 2 readiness assessment evaluates your organization’s controls against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria before you engage an external auditor. It identifies exactly where you would fail — so you can remediate proactively instead of discovering gaps during the audit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a SOC 2 readiness assessment?
- A SOC 2 readiness assessment is a pre-audit review that evaluates your organization's controls against SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria — Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. It identifies gaps before a formal audit so you can remediate proactively.
- How is this different from a SOC 2 audit?
- A readiness assessment is not a formal audit and does not produce a SOC 2 report. It identifies where you would fail an audit so you can fix gaps before engaging an auditor. This saves time, cost, and the risk of a qualified opinion.
- How long does a SOC 2 readiness assessment take?
- Typically 2-4 weeks depending on organizational complexity and the number of Trust Services Criteria in scope.
