A 10-minute SOC 2 readiness self-check

SOC 2 can look like a wall of jargon, but a readiness check is really one question asked over and over: for each control, can you show it's actually happening? A quick self-assessment tells you where the gaps are — before an auditor, or a customer's security team, finds them for you.

The five trust criteria

SOC 2 rests on Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and Privacy. Most teams start with the Common Criteria — the Security core: access control, change management, monitoring, incident response and vendor risk.

Score yourself honestly

• Implemented — it's done and you can prove it.
• Partial — it exists, but isn't consistent or documented.
• Planned / Missing — the real gaps, and where to start.

A weighted score turns those answers into a single readiness number and a prioritized gap list — the thing you actually work from, instead of a vague sense of dread.

Do the check privately

The GG Pro SOC 2 Readiness tool runs the whole questionnaire on your device and scores it locally — nothing leaves your browser, which is rather the point for a security assessment. Run it monthly and watch the gaps close.
