SOC 2 Compliance Software
SOC 2 Compliance Software That Does the Heavy Lifting
Describe your product once. Flow maps your controls to SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria, tracks evidence, and flags gaps before your auditor does — powered by AI.
What is SOC 2?
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an auditing standard developed by the AICPA that evaluates a service organization's controls around security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. A SOC 2 Type II report — covering a period of 6–12 months of operational effectiveness — has become the baseline trust signal for B2B SaaS companies. Enterprise customers, investors, and procurement teams increasingly require it before signing contracts.
Who needs SOC 2?
Any SaaS company handling customer data should pursue SOC 2 Type II, especially those selling into enterprise accounts, financial services, healthcare, or government. If your sales team is fielding security questionnaires or losing deals to "we need your SOC 2 first," it's time.
How Flow automates SOC 2 compliance
From your first risk assessment to your audit report — powered by AI.
Automated control mapping
Describe your infrastructure and processes once. Flow's AI maps your existing controls to the 64 SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and identifies which criteria you already satisfy versus where you have gaps.
Continuous evidence collection
Stop scrambling before audits. Flow tracks control effectiveness over time, flags when controls lapse, and maintains a running evidence library so your audit period looks clean from day one.
Risk register linked to controls
Every risk in your register is linked to the SOC 2 controls designed to mitigate it. When a risk changes, Flow automatically surfaces which criteria may be affected.
Vendor risk management
SOC 2 requires you to assess your subprocessors. Flow's vendor module tracks third-party risk, collects their security documentation, and surfaces vendors that could threaten your compliance posture.
Audit-ready reporting
Generate auditor-ready reports in minutes. Flow produces the control matrices, risk assessments, and evidence packages that your auditor needs — formatted the way they expect.

Frequently asked questions about SOC 2
How long does SOC 2 Type II compliance take?
SOC 2 Type II requires a minimum observation period of 6 months, with most organizations spending 3–6 months on readiness before the audit period starts. With a GRC platform like Flow that automates control mapping and evidence collection, the readiness phase can be compressed significantly compared to a spreadsheet-based approach.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time assessment that evaluates whether your controls are suitably designed. SOC 2 Type II evaluates whether those controls operated effectively over a period of time (typically 6–12 months). Enterprise customers almost always require Type II. Flow supports both, but is built to make Type II continuous rather than a once-a-year scramble.
Which SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria does Flow support?
Flow maps controls to all five Trust Service Criteria: Security (CC), Availability (A), Processing Integrity (PI), Confidentiality (C), and Privacy (P). The Security category (Common Criteria) is required for all SOC 2 audits. Flow's AI identifies which additional criteria apply to your product and maps your controls accordingly.
How much does SOC 2 certification cost?
SOC 2 audits typically cost $30,000–$80,000 depending on scope and auditor. Readiness consulting adds another $20,000–$50,000 if done manually. A GRC platform like Flow replaces most of the readiness consulting cost by automating control mapping, evidence collection, and gap analysis.
Does Flow replace my SOC 2 auditor?
No — SOC 2 requires an independent CPA firm to conduct the audit. Flow replaces the manual preparation work: spreadsheets, consultant-led gap assessments, and scrambling for evidence. Your auditor will receive cleaner, more complete evidence packages, which typically reduces audit time and cost.
