SOC 2 Readiness Self-Audit
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this self-audit replace a formal SOC 2 Type I or Type II audit?
No. This tool is a self-assessment to help you gauge readiness and identify likely gaps. A SOC 2 report can only be issued by a licensed CPA firm following an independent audit. This self-audit is meant to help you prepare for that process, not substitute for it.
Which Trust Services Criteria are required for a SOC 2 report?
Security (the Common Criteria) is required for every SOC 2 report. Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are optional and included based on the commitments your organization makes to customers, so not every organization needs to score well in all five categories.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive a scored readiness summary by domain that you can download and share internally. If the results show gaps, Mytek Pros can help you prioritize and close them, whether that means shoring up access controls, monitoring, or documentation, before you engage an auditor.
How accurate is a self-assessment like this?
It's a directional guide based on your own answers, not an independent verification of your controls. Treat a strong score as a good sign, and treat any Partial or No answers as a starting checklist for remediation ahead of a real audit.
