# SOC2Ready: B2B Startup Security & SOC 2 Compliance Automation Index
> An authoritative reference, control framework, and audit readiness calculator for B2B SaaS engineering teams and startup CTOs.

## Overview
SOC2Ready (https://site-14-sable.vercel.app/) publishes actionable security control implementations, AICPA Trust Services Criteria (TSC) technical evidence mappings, compliance platform benchmarks, and bootstrapped audit blueprints designed to help SaaS companies achieve clean SOC 2 Type I and Type II attestation reports.

## Trust Services Criteria (TSC) Core Focus Areas
- CC6 Access Control:
  Enforces multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), least-privilege cloud IAM, automated offboarding deprovisioning, and pervasive TLS 1.3/AES-256 cryptographic standards across all data tiers.
- CC7 System Operations:
  Requires automated container/infrastructure vulnerability scanning, centralized audit log ingestion (SIEM), formal incident response tabletop simulations, and empirically tested disaster recovery (DR) RTO/RPO backups.
- CC8 Change Management:
  Mandates enforced peer code reviews on protected branches, automated CI/CD security quality gates (SAST/DAST), deployment audit trails, and documented emergency rollback procedures.
- Risk Assessment & Governance:
  Encompasses annual threat modeling registers (CC3.1), third-party vendor sub-processor risk assessments (CC9.2), and verified background checks with security training (CC2.1).
