Most firms pursue SOC 2 because growth demands it — an enterprise prospect, a funding round, a larger client — so we plan readiness around that deadline, and the attestation unlocks the deal instead of delaying it.

What’s Inside a Readiness Engagement

DKBinnovative SOC 2 Readiness Program

A complete SOC 2 readiness program — gap assessment, control build, evidence collection, and audit liaison — delivered as a fixed-fee engagement for SaaS, RIA, law, and accounting firms in Dallas-Fort Worth and nationwide.

Gap Assessment & Control Mapping

A structured walkthrough of the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria — security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy — mapped against your current Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, Entra ID, Intune, and SaaS posture. The output is a prioritized remediation backlog with owners, target dates, and the audit risk each gap represents.

Policy, Evidence & Tooling Stack

Policies authored or refreshed to match your environment — access control, change management, incident response, vendor management, business continuity. Evidence collection runs through Microsoft Azure-native logging, Microsoft Defender, and Hatz.AI for secure AI usage controls. No screenshots in folders — every control feeds a continuous evidence record the auditor can sample on demand.

Audit Liaison & Annual Maintenance

DKBinnovative manages the working relationship with your independent CPA audit firm — evidence handoff, walkthrough preparation, exception responses. After the report issues, continuous monitoring keeps controls running so the next Type II observation window stays clean instead of becoming another last-minute scramble.

Why DKBinnovative Leads SOC 2 Readiness

Most readiness vendors hand over a 100-page binder and a Slack channel. DKBinnovative runs SOC 2 like an operations program with named owners, automated evidence, and an in-house team that lives in the environment.

Readiness engineers, security analysts, and a dedicated vCIO — all DKBinnovative employees in Plano, Frisco, and Irving. Nothing offshored, nothing white-labeled, no junior consultant rotated in mid-engagement.

SOC 2 readiness is scoped and priced as a fixed-fee engagement after a complimentary discovery call — no open-ended hourly meter, no surprise change orders, no consulting bait-and-switch. You know the cost and the deliverables before the kickoff.

Twenty-two years supporting registered investment advisers, CPA firms, law firms, and SaaS companies through SEC, FINRA, IRS Pub 4557, and HIPAA audits. SOC 2 readiness sits on top of that muscle memory — and 60% of HIPAA, NIST, and FINRA controls map directly to SOC 2.

Microsoft Azure-native logging, Microsoft Defender, and Hatz.AI secure-AI controls feed continuous evidence into the audit trail. No more pre-audit fire drill collecting screenshots from twelve different systems and praying nothing has changed.

Audit-Ready, On Purpose

What is SOC 2 readiness?

SOC 2 readiness is the structured engagement that gets a company prepared for a SOC 2 Type I or Type II audit — mapping the Trust Services Criteria to internal controls, documenting policies, collecting evidence, and remediating gaps before an independent CPA firm performs the attestation. DKBinnovative runs the full program for Dallas-Fort Worth SaaS, RIA, law, and accounting firms with fixed-fee scoping and continuous monitoring after the report issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

SOC 2 readiness pricing depends on company size, in-scope Trust Services Criteria, and the current control maturity. DKBinnovative provides a fixed-fee engagement quote after a complimentary discovery call. Typical mid-market readiness programs run between $35,000 and $90,000 for Type I, with an additional surveillance fee for the Type II observation window.

No. The SOC 2 audit must be performed by an independent licensed CPA firm and that independence rule is non-negotiable. DKBinnovative runs the readiness engagement, builds the control set, collects the evidence, and serves as your liaison to the audit firm. The attestation is always issued by an independent third-party auditor.

SOC 2 is the right first framework for SaaS and B2B service providers whose buyers ask for a SOC 2 report in procurement. ISO 27001 is preferred when international customers dominate the pipeline. HIPAA is mandatory for any business that handles protected health information. The three frameworks share roughly 60% of their controls, so the second framework typically takes 30% to 50% less effort than the first.

Yes. Most HIPAA Security Rule safeguards and NIST 800-53 controls map directly to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. DKBinnovative inventories your existing HIPAA, NIST, IRS Pub 4557, FINRA, or SEC controls and maps the overlap before any new policy writing begins. Clients with mature HIPAA programs typically reach SOC 2 readiness 30% to 40% faster than clients starting from scratch.

A SOC 2-ready environment generally requires identity and conditional access (Microsoft Entra ID), endpoint detection and response, centralized logging and SIEM, encrypted endpoint and email posture, a documented ticketing system for change and incident management, a secure-AI control layer (DKBinnovative deploys Hatz.AI for this), and an evidence collection mechanism. DKBinnovative deploys and configures the stack or works with the tools you already own.

Yes. SOC 2 readiness is delivered remotely for most clients, with optional on-site work for the kickoff workshop and audit walkthrough. DKBinnovative supports SaaS and professional firms headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth as well as multi-state clients with satellite offices nationwide. Engineers operate from the Plano, Frisco, and Irving offices.
