SOC 2 Readiness and Compliance Services

Build trust. Win bigger deals. Prove you’re secure.

Prove your security

posture

Winning new business often depends on more than technical capability alone. With LRQA’s support, your organisation can prepare effectively for SOC 2, demonstrating that customer data is protected and maintaining audit readiness.

Developed by the AICPA, SOC 2 evaluates how effectively organisations protect customer data across five Trust Services Criteria:

  • Security (mandatory)
  • Availability
  • Processing integrity
  • Confidentiality
  • Privacy

Our services are designed to prepare your organisation thoroughly and, where relevant, can align existing frameworks such as ISO 27001. We help you maintain readiness throughout the year so that SOC 2 becomes both a compliance requirement and a strategic advantage.

Our SOC 2 services

LRQA specialises in helping organisations prepare, achieve readiness, and succeed with SOC 2. Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or preparing for a subsequent annual audit, our experts provide tailored support.

Readiness Assessment

We assess your current controls, identify gaps, and define the specific actions required to meet SOC 2 requirements.

Framework Alignment

Where relevant, we can align existing frameworks, such as ISO 27001, to your SOC 2 attestation, streamlining your compliance efforts.

Pre-implementation Consultancy

From policies to technical controls, our consultants guide you through every stage of establishing a compliant audit-ready environment.

Post-audit remediation

Where findings are raised, LRQA provides support to close gaps, strengthen controls, and restore audit readiness.

Benefits of SOC 2 compliance

Win new business

Many enterprise organisations require SOC 2 reports as part of supplier due diligence. Being prepared positions you to meet these client expectations.

Strengthen security posture

Compliance demonstrates that your controls are both well designed and operating effectively, providing assurance to clients and stakeholders.

Improve efficiency

Identifying and addressing gaps supports more reliable processes, reduces disruption and keeps your organisation audit-ready year-round.

Gain a competitive edge

SOC 2 compliance differentiates your organisation, showing commitment to data protection and aligning with recognised frameworks such as ISO 27001.
