Zero to SOC 2
Type II Certified
We needed SOC 2 Type II to close a $2M enterprise contract and had no idea where to start. garrisonOne ran our gap assessment, built the compliance program, and supported us through the examination. We closed the contract. The whole process took about nine months from zero to certified.

Industry focus

Every business has security weaknesses. The question is whether you find them first — or an attacker does. Penetration testing (also called pen …

It depends on your starting point. Organizations with some security controls in place may be audit-ready in a few weeks. Those starting from scratch typically take two to six months. We give you an honest timeline after an initial gap analysis so you can plan accordingly.
A gap analysis compares where you are today against what a given framework requires. It is the most efficient first step because it tells you exactly what needs to change, so you do not waste time and effort fixing things that are already compliant or addressing the wrong priorities.
Yes. We create all required policies, procedures, and supporting documentation written to your organization's context. This includes information security policies, SOPs, control narratives, and governance frameworks, all tailored to how your business actually operates rather than copied from a template.
Compliance and security are closely related but not identical. Frameworks enforce strong baseline controls that significantly improve your security posture. We always recommend treating compliance as a floor, not a ceiling, and building security practices that go beyond the minimum requirements wherever your risk profile warrants it.
Yes. We provide end-to-end support through audit preparation, evidence gathering, and direct coordination with auditors. You will not be navigating the audit process alone, and we stay available to respond to auditor queries and help your team present findings clearly and confidently.
Yes. Many compliance requirements overlap across frameworks. ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR, for example, share a significant amount of common control ground. We design compliance programs that address multiple obligations efficiently so you are not running completely separate projects for each framework.
A certification, such as ISO 27001, involves an independent third-party audit that results in a formal certificate confirming you meet the standard. An attestation, such as SOC 2, is a report issued by a licensed auditor expressing an opinion on your controls. Both demonstrate compliance to customers and stakeholders but through different processes and outputs.
