SOC 2 is the de facto fintech security audit. The auditor reviews evidence that your stated controls operated effectively across a period (Type II is the rigorous version, 6-12 month window). Controls span: access management, change management, monitoring, incident response, vendor management. The audit is evidence-driven — screenshots, tickets, logs, policy docs. Mature shops automate evidence collection.
Recommendation: spin up Drata, Vanta, Secureframe, or Sprinto as soon as you have 10+ employees. They auto-collect evidence (AWS config, MDM, identity provider audit logs). Get a Type I (point-in-time) audit in 3 months. Type II (6-12 months) becomes a re-bill of the same evidence. SOC2 unlocks enterprise sales.
Use these three in order. Each builds on the one before.
