SOC 2 readiness assessment
SOC 2 readiness, assessed from your client's own evidence
Show a client what their auditor will ask for before they engage one. Celeredge drafts the readiness assessment from the policies and evidence they already hold, scoped to the Trust Services Criteria in play, with the source document cited behind every finding.
From $59 per seat / month billed annually ($70 monthly), after a 7-day free trial. Supports a readiness and gap review, not a SOC 2 audit.
The problem
Where SOC 2 readiness work stalls
Scope decided by guesswork
Security is the only criterion every report must cover. Whether Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity or Privacy belong in scope changes the cost of the client's whole programme.
Mapping that eats the fee
Matching a client's policies, tickets and access reviews to each criterion by hand leaves little margin in a fixed-price readiness engagement.
Evidence scattered across tools
Policies in one place, tickets in another, access reviews in a third, and nothing that maps them to a criterion until your team does it.
How Celeredge helps
Scored against the criteria the client actually scopes
Celeredge reads the client's policies, procedures and reports, maps them to the Trust Services Criteria in scope, and shows which ones have no evidence behind them at all. Your consultant reviews the draft and approves the report before the client sees it.
- Scoped to the criteria you select, with Security always covered
- Every finding cites the source document behind it
- Gaps ranked by severity, so remediation has an order
- Remediation actions with owners and due dates to carry the client to audit

Questions
SOC 2 readiness assessment FAQ
Is this a SOC 2 audit?
No. A SOC 2 report can only be issued by a licensed CPA firm. Celeredge supports the readiness work that comes first: what an auditor will ask for, and where the client's evidence does not yet answer it.
Does it cover Type I and Type II?
Readiness for both starts in the same place: whether the control exists and whether the client can evidence it. Type II additionally tests that the control operated over a period, so Celeredge flags where the client holds a policy but no operating evidence across time.
How is this different from Vanta or Drata?
Those tools monitor a company's own controls continuously once its control set is defined. Celeredge is built for the consultancy doing the step before that across many clients: assessing what each client has today against the criteria and producing the gap analysis. Plenty of clients end up running both.
Can the findings be trusted?
Every finding links to the evidence behind it. Where the client's evidence contains nothing relevant to a criterion, the platform records a gap rather than generating a plausible-sounding answer, and nothing is shared until your consultant approves it.
