For accidental SOC 2 owners

Get your first SOC 2 done without a security team

Answer a 10-minute intake about your stack, team size and audit date. Soclane gives you a ranked weekly SOC 2 Type I task list: what to do now, and what can safely wait.

Guidance only. No access to your systems needed.

You didn't ask to own SOC 2. Now a deal depends on it.

At most small startups, SOC 2 lands on whoever knows the most about the AWS account. No budget, no training, and your real job doesn't pause.

“Our biggest prospect won't sign until we have SOC 2, and somehow it's on me.”
Something you could deal with later became something you need to figure out right now, with sales checking in every week.
“I'm not a security person. I just know our AWS setup best.”
You're suddenly the GRC guy, reading framework docs at night and hoping you're not missing something obvious.
“Every guide lists 80 controls like they all matter equally.”
Nothing tells you which ones matter for your audit date and which can wait until after the deal closes.
“I still have my real job.”
Without a clear plan, SOC 2 slides to next quarter, again, until the deadline is tighter and the stakes are higher.

From blocked deal to audit-ready, one week at a time

Soclane is a guided plan, not another dashboard. It turns SOC 2 Type I into a short list of tasks sized for a few hours a week.

  1. 1

    Answer a 10-minute intake

    Tell us your team size, cloud stack, tools you already use and your audit date. No logins or system access needed.

  2. 2

    Get your ranked weekly plan

    Soclane orders the work by your deadline: the controls you need first, the ones that need lead time, and the ones that can safely wait.

  3. 3

    Work through this week's tasks

    Each task comes with plain-English steps, a time estimate and a note on what evidence to keep for the auditor.

  4. 4

    Walk into your Type I audit prepared

    When the date arrives, you know what's done, where the evidence lives and why each item mattered.

Built for one person with a few hours a week

Soclane assumes you aren't a compliance expert and that SOC 2 isn't your only job.

Know exactly what to work on first

Your tasks are ranked by your audit date, team size and stack, so the controls that block your audit come before the nice-to-haves.

See what can safely wait

Soclane marks which work you can defer until after your Type I audit, and says why, so you stop losing weekends to controls that aren't due yet.

Plain-English steps, with evidence notes

Every task explains what to do in your stack and what proof to keep, like a screenshot of your MFA settings, and where to file it so it's ready when asked.

A plan that adjusts when the week gets away from you

Miss a week for a client fire? Soclane re-ranks what's left against your audit date and tells you what to cut or push, instead of leaving you behind schedule.

Made for the person who got handed SOC 2

Soclane is for you if

  • A deal is waiting on your SOC 2

    An enterprise prospect asked for a report and you need a Type I on a real deadline.

  • You're the closest thing to a security person

    An engineer, IT lead or ops person at a 10–50 person B2B SaaS team who knows the stack, not the framework.

  • You have a few hours a week, not a team

    No extra headcount is coming and SOC 2 has to fit around your actual job.

Soclane isn't for you if

  • You need SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA or ISO 27001 right now. We support Type I only at launch.
  • You want a tool that connects to your systems and automates evidence collection.
  • You already have a dedicated security or compliance team.

How Soclane compares

I was the accidental SOC 2 owner too

A deal was waiting, nobody on the team had done SOC 2 before, and I was the one who knew the most about our infrastructure. So it became mine, on top of my actual job. The hardest part wasn't any single control. It was not knowing what mattered first, and watching every guide treat 80 items as equally urgent. We passed the audit, but I wasted weeks on things that could have waited. Soclane is the plan I wish someone had handed me on day one: ranked, honest about what can be deferred, and sized for one person with a few hours a week.

Questions you're probably asking

Will Soclane guarantee we pass the audit?

No. Your auditor makes that call, and nobody can honestly guarantee it. Soclane gives you a prioritized plan and clear steps so you show up prepared, with the important controls in place and the evidence organized.

How is this different from Vanta or Drata?

Those platforms connect to your systems and automate evidence, typically for $10k+ a year. Soclane doesn't connect to anything. It's a ranked weekly plan that tells you what to do first and what can wait. If you later need automation, the work you've done still counts.

Do you need access to our AWS, Google Workspace or GitHub?

No. Soclane is guidance only. You answer an intake about your stack and team, and the plan is built from that. We never ask for credentials or connect to your systems.

What do you do with the intake answers?

We use them only to build and update your plan. You describe your setup in general terms, like 'AWS, Google Workspace, 22 people', so there's no need to share sensitive configuration details.

How much time does it take each week?

You set your available hours in the intake. Most plans are sized around a few hours a week, and Soclane re-ranks the remaining work if you fall behind.

Do you support SOC 2 Type II?

Not at launch. Soclane covers SOC 2 Type I only, for teams with a deal waiting on a first report. Tell us in the early access form if you need Type II next.

Can I cancel after the audit?

Yes. Billing is monthly at $199 and you can cancel anytime. Most readiness pushes are a few months long, so you pay only while you need it.
