Enjoy SOC 2 Benefits Without Certification – Here's How!
Many business owners often wonder if they need to get a full SOC 2 certification immediately to secure big contracts. The good news? You might not need to rush into full certification right away.
Many major companies today use Vendor Risk Assessment questionnaires to evaluate their vendors. If your company is well-prepared for SOC 2, you can often pass these assessments without the official certification. For example, one of my clients, an Australian edtech startup, recently secured a significant contract by quickly passing a Vendor Risk Assessment after working with me—without the full certification!
To help businesses like yours evaluate their SOC 2 readiness, I’ve developed a SOC 2 readiness assessment tool. This tool includes 30-50 questions based on SOC 2 criteria and industry best practices for vendor risk assessments. Here are a few examples of what you'll find:
- “Does your organization provide access to systems based on roles (e.g., role-based access control (RBAC)), and is this process documented for all systems including the service?”
- “Is the full restoration of backups tested at least once when initially implemented and each time major IT infrastructure changes occur, or at least annually? (e.g., technology stack changes, vendor changes, platform changes)”
These questions are designed to test specific SOC 2 criteria and provide a clear understanding of your current readiness.
By completing the assessment, you'll receive a comprehensive report highlighting any gaps in your SOC 2 compliance, along with a clear, actionable roadmap to close them. This insight will boost your readiness, help you confidently pass Vendor Assessment questionnaires, and position you for those big contracts.
I'm excited to announce the private beta release of this tool next week, and I'm looking for a select few pilot users to test it out at a significantly discounted rate.

About me
Hi, my name is Adam. With over 15 years of experience in the tech industry, I have led and completed more than 100 software development projects, managing budgets from shoestring sums to over $100 million. I've held various roles throughout my career, including CEO, CTO, Head of Department, Project Manager, Program Manager, and Founder/Co-Founder, giving me a well-rounded understanding of how software projects work — the priorities, the pitfalls, and what it takes to succeed.
During my career, I've faced the challenge of achieving SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance firsthand while running my telehealth startup. I still remember the stress, the anxiety, and the uncertainty of not knowing where to begin. Back then, a simple yet powerful resource like this SOC 2 Compliance Checklist would have been a lifesaver.
Later, in my role at a major tech company, I guided over 50 projects through SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance. Through these experiences, I discovered the most effective ways to prepare for these rigorous standards, focusing on the essential parts and how these frameworks can add real value to projects, not just headaches.
My goal is to help you see the real-world usefulness of these compliance frameworks without the stress and confusion.
That’s why I created this simple yet powerful SOC 2 Compliance Checklist and Dashboard — to help small and medium companies start their compliance journey quickly and efficiently.
It’s designed from a founder's and manager's perspective, focusing on the practical aspect, not from an auditor's viewpoint that often lacks an understanding of how real software development works.
