Security & Compliance

Secure the foundation.

Cloud security hardening for SaaS teams and SOC 2 readiness for AI-enabled SaaS teams facing enterprise reviews or their first examination.

Book a scoping call

Harden the environment. Prepare for the audit. Document the answers.

An enterprise customer has sent a security questionnaire. Your team knows how the product works, but the answers depend on cloud settings, identity controls, backups, and evidence spread across several systems. A useful starting point is a defined review of the environment, with findings tied to what someone can actually inspect and change.

Preparing an AI-enabled product adds another set of questions. Which models can access company data? What can their tools change? Where does information leave the environment, and which vendors handle it? Readiness work needs to account for those paths alongside the cloud and organizational controls that support the rest of the product.

Bipath brings experience leading SOC 2 Type I, Type II, and renewal programs as an operator. The engagement turns the agreed scope into a findings register or readiness roadmap. You receive recommendations and an evidence strategy; a CPA firm remains responsible for the SOC 2 examination and report.

DEFINED ENGAGEMENTS

Scope & deliverables

Cloud Security Hardening Review

Review Cloudflare DNS, WAF, rate limiting, Zero Trust and Access; cloud hosts on DigitalOcean, AWS, or GCP; Google Workspace; secrets management; backups; and logging. Receive a prioritized findings report, a remediation plan, and one 60-minute readout. The proposal identifies the environments included so the review stays bounded and actionable.

Outside this scope

  • Penetration testing
  • Incident response
  • Ongoing control operation
from $1,8005–7 business daysDiscuss this scope

SOC 2 Readiness for AI-Enabled SaaS

Assess gaps against the Trust Services Criteria with specific attention to model access, tool permissions, data flows, and vendor risk. Receive a gap register, control mapping, an evidence strategy, a 90-day remediation roadmap, and a readout. The assessment helps your team plan readiness work; it does not replace the examination performed by a CPA firm.

Outside this scope

  • Issuing a SOC 2 report
  • Policy authoring at volume
  • Auditor liaison beyond one call
from $3,5002–3 weeksDiscuss this scope

What you take away

  • A written inventory of the systems and control areas included in the engagement.
  • Findings or readiness gaps with priorities, affected areas, and recommended next steps.
  • A remediation plan for a hardening review, or control mapping and an evidence strategy for readiness work.
  • A working readout to discuss the findings and the decisions your team needs to make.

Who this is for

  • SaaS teams preparing for customer security reviews.
  • Teams planning their first SOC 2 or bringing AI and agent components into an existing readiness program.

Who this is not for

  • Penetration testing or incident response.
  • Issuing a SOC 2 report or promising an examination outcome.

Questions worth asking

Can Bipath issue our SOC 2 report?

No. SOC 2 reports are issued by CPA firms. Bipath helps you assess readiness, map control gaps, plan evidence, and prioritize remediation. The work is preparation for the examination, with scope and deliverables agreed in advance. It is not an audit opinion or a promise of an outcome.

How long does SOC 2 readiness take for a SaaS team?

The fixed-scope Bipath assessment typically takes two to three weeks and includes a 90-day remediation roadmap. Completing that roadmap or preparing for an examination depends on your starting point, systems, and team capacity. The assessment timeline is separate from your auditor’s examination and reporting schedule.

Do we need Vanta or Drata to work with you?

No particular compliance platform is a prerequisite. The first call establishes what systems and evidence you already have. The proposal then defines the assessment and its deliverables around that environment. Purchasing or administering a specific platform is a separate decision, rather than a condition of the readiness review.

What’s the difference between a hardening review and a penetration test?

A hardening review examines configuration and operational practices, including identity, cloud settings, backups, secrets, and logging. Its deliverable is a prioritized findings report and remediation plan. A penetration test has a different testing scope and methodology. Bipath’s hardening review does not include penetration testing or incident response.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Bipath works with SaaS teams preparing for customer security reviews and SOC 2, production teams connecting agents to business systems, and operating teams improving automation. Engagements begin with a defined problem, agreed access, and written deliverables. The scoping call establishes which fixed-scope offer fits the work.
