We Do Readiness.
You Do the Audit.
Your Clients Win.
Cyberneza works exclusively on the implementation and readiness side of SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance. We never perform audits or attestations — which means we're never in conflict with your independence requirements, and we're never competing for your clients.
If your clients need SOC 2 or ISO 27001 preparation before audit, Cyberneza helps them arrive prepared — not scrambling.
The Process
How It Works
2
Cyberneza prepares the client
We conduct the gap assessment, implement controls, organize evidence, and prepare audit-ready documentation. The client does the work with us alongside them.
3
The client returns to you — ready
The client comes back to your firm for the audit, prepared and organized. Fieldwork starts cleaner. Evidence is in order. The audit goes more smoothly.
Your client relationship stays intact. Your independence remains fully preserved. The audit goes more smoothly.
Scope of Work
What We Do
We help growth-stage SaaS and fintech companies get audit-ready. Specifically:
Gap assessments
Evaluating where a client stands against SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria or ISO 27001 controls — with a clear, prioritized picture of what needs to be addressed.
Remediation planning
Building a prioritized, realistic roadmap to close control gaps — scoped to what the client's team can actually execute before their audit window opens.
Control implementation
Configuring technical and administrative controls to support SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness. Policies, procedures, vendor reviews, access controls — the full scope.
Evidence preparation
Organizing controls, documentation, and audit artifacts so your fieldwork starts clean. Where possible, evidence is structured to align with common audit evidence request formats.
Compliance automation
Deploying and configuring platforms including Vanta, Drata, and others based on what fits the client. We're vendor-neutral — manual approaches remain on the table for tighter budgets.
Ongoing advisory
Supporting clients through their audit window and beyond — answering questions, closing late-stage gaps, and keeping controls maintained through the period under review.
We don't hand clients a checklist and walk away. We work alongside them until their controls, documentation, and evidence are genuinely ready for audit. Where possible, we organize evidence in ways that align with common audit evidence request structures, helping reduce back-and-forth during fieldwork.
For Audit Firms
Why Audit Firms Work With Us
We stay in our lane.
Cyberneza is a readiness and implementation firm only. We do not perform SOC 2 audits, issue attestation reports, or provide any service that creates independence concerns for your firm. That boundary is non-negotiable for us — it's how we maintain credibility with the firms we work with.
We deliver clients who are actually ready.
Clients who come to you through Cyberneza have completed a structured readiness process — controls implemented, documentation prepared, evidence organized. Fewer surprises at fieldwork. Cleaner evidence packages. More efficient audits.
We're vendor-neutral.
We implement multiple compliance automation platforms — including Vanta, Drata, and others — and recommend what best fits the client, not what benefits us most. Manual approaches are on the table for clients with tighter budgets.
We work with the right-sized clients.
Our focus is growth-stage companies — typically Series A through Series C SaaS and fintech. These are clients who have real audit pressure (enterprise sales, investor requirements, contract mandates) but don't have a full-time compliance team. They need outside expertise and they're motivated to get it done.
All engagements are led directly by the principal consultant.
When you refer a client to Cyberneza, you're referring them to a senior practitioner with 25+ years of cybersecurity experience who will personally lead and see the engagement through — not a junior consultant or subcontractor.
