Start collecting SOC 2 evidence from day one. Certvik maps the Trust Services Criteria to your Microsoft 365 environment and monitors your controls continuously so you're ready when audit time comes.

Start your observation period on day one. By the time your auditor arrives, you'll have months of clean, continuous evidence.
All SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria (Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, Privacy) mapped to your M365 controls.
Your compliance posture is checked on every scan. Drift from your baseline triggers alerts before your next audit.
Generate clean, structured evidence packs that your SOC 2 auditor can work from directly. No more folder dumps.
Evidence is gathered from your Microsoft 365 environment automatically. Your team is notified when manual evidence is needed.
Every SOC 2 control comes with a downloadable Word (.docx) template — basic and detailed variants — so you can hit the ground running on policy and procedure documentation without starting from a blank page.
Real frustrations from engineering and security teams, and how Certvik addresses them.
The problem
"SOC 2 feels like it's just collecting screenshots until someone says it's fine. It's security theatre."
How Certvik solves it
Certvik scans your live M365 configuration on a schedule and records what it finds with timestamps. The result is a continuous evidence trail of your actual security posture — not a folder of screenshots assembled the week before the auditor arrives.
The problem
"We passed SOC 2 Type II last year and still got breached. How does that even happen?"
How Certvik solves it
A SOC 2 report covers the audit observation period — not what happens the day after the report is issued. Configuration drift is a leading cause: settings change, controls weaken, and nobody notices until the next annual audit. Certvik monitors your M365 environment continuously and alerts you the moment a compliant control drifts out of configuration.
The problem
"Our observation period starts in six months. What do we do until then?"
How Certvik solves it
Start now. Certvik begins collecting timestamped evidence from day one. By the time your auditor arrives, you will have months of clean, continuous evidence already organised by Trust Services Criteria — rather than scrambling to reconstruct it retrospectively.
The problem
"We're a small team. The separation-of-duties requirements feel impossible to satisfy."
How Certvik solves it
Certvik surfaces exactly which SOC 2 controls your M365 environment satisfies today and which have genuine gaps — so you can have an honest conversation with your auditor about compensating controls rather than discovering the problem on audit day.
The problem
"We also need ISO 27001 for our European customers. That feels like doing all the work twice."
How Certvik solves it
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 share roughly 70–80% of their underlying control requirements. Certvik maps your single M365 scan to both frameworks simultaneously — one set of evidence, two compliance pictures. The ISO 27001 module can be added to any SOC 2 subscription.
SOC 2 (System and Organisation Controls 2) is an auditing framework developed by the AICPA. It's widely required by US enterprise customers and investors, particularly in the SaaS and cloud services space. A SOC 2 Type II report demonstrates that your security controls have been operating effectively over a period of time (typically 6–12 months).
If your customers are primarily in the US, SOC 2 is usually the priority. If they're in Europe or you're targeting enterprise or government contracts globally, ISO 27001 is more universally recognised. Many companies pursue both — Certvik supports this with separate add-ons you can stack.
SOC 2 Type I (point-in-time snapshot) can take 2–4 months. SOC 2 Type II requires a 6–12 month observation period. Certvik's continuous monitoring starts your evidence collection from day one, so you're not starting from scratch when it's time to audit.
Certvik handles the operational compliance work — evidence collection, monitoring and reporting. Most companies still work with a consultant or auditor for the formal SOC 2 examination. Certvik reduces the time and cost your consultant needs to spend on your account.
The sooner you start collecting evidence, the sooner you can get your report. Free for 14 days.
