SOC 2 compliance for SaaS - automated from CI/CD to audit.
Enterprise customers require SOC 2 before signing. But manual evidence collection, last-minute audit scrambles, and engineering time wasted on compliance screenshots is not how SaaS teams should operate. Matproof automates SOC 2 evidence collection from your CI/CD pipeline, cloud infrastructure, and identity provider - so you stay audit-ready every day, not just once a year.

SOC 2 coverage

Why SOC 2 is painful for SaaS teams
SaaS companies ship fast, iterate constantly, and scale infrastructure dynamically. SOC 2 requires evidence that security controls operate effectively over months. The gap between how SaaS teams work and how auditors need to see evidence is where compliance pain lives.
Evidence collection is a full-time job
SOC 2 auditors need evidence that controls operate effectively over the entire audit period - typically 6-12 months. For SaaS companies, this means collecting screenshots, logs, configurations, and approval records from GitHub, AWS, GCP, Azure, Okta, Jira, and dozens of other tools. Doing this manually before each audit wastes engineering time and risks gaps that delay the report.
CI/CD pipelines move faster than compliance
SaaS teams deploy multiple times per day. SOC 2 requires evidence of change management controls - code review approvals, automated testing, deployment authorizations, and rollback capabilities. When your CI/CD pipeline runs 50+ deployments per week, manually documenting each one for audit purposes is not sustainable.
Cloud infrastructure configuration drift
SOC 2 requires that security configurations remain consistent - encryption at rest, network segmentation, access controls, logging. But cloud infrastructure drifts. A quick IAM change during an incident, a new S3 bucket without encryption, or a security group modification can create compliance gaps that go undetected until the next audit.
Enterprise customers demand SOC 2 before signing
Enterprise procurement teams require SOC 2 Type II reports before approving vendors. For growing SaaS companies, the 6-12 month observation period for Type II means starting late costs you deals. Every month without a SOC 2 report is a month where enterprise contracts stall in procurement review.
Your Compliance Journey
From first integration to SOC 2 report in months
Connect Your Stack
Integrate your cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure), code repository (GitHub, GitLab), identity provider (Okta, Google Workspace), and project management tools. Matproof starts collecting evidence from day one.
Gap Assessment
Matproof maps your existing security practices against SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria. See exactly which controls are in place, partially implemented, or missing - with specific remediation guidance for each gap.
Automated Evidence Collection
Evidence flows automatically from your connected tools - code reviews, deployment logs, access reviews, configuration snapshots, and security alerts. No manual screenshots. No last-minute audit scrambles.
Audit-Ready
Share a read-only portal with your auditor. Every control has timestamped evidence, every policy has version history. Your SOC 2 Type II audit takes days instead of weeks because the evidence is already organized and complete.
Key Requirements
Trust Service Criteria that matter most for SaaS
Common Criteria (Security)
- Control environment: security policies, roles, and organizational structure (CC1)
- Communication and information: security awareness and incident communication (CC2)
- Risk assessment: threat identification, vulnerability management, risk scoring (CC3)
- Monitoring: continuous control monitoring and deficiency remediation (CC4)
- Control activities: logical access, change management, system operations (CC5)
- Access controls: authentication, authorization, and periodic access reviews
Logical & Physical Controls
- Logical access controls: MFA, SSO, role-based access, least privilege (CC6)
- System operations: monitoring, incident response, backup and recovery (CC7)
- Change management: code review, testing, approval, and deployment controls (CC8)
- Risk mitigation: vendor management, business continuity, disaster recovery (CC9)
- Encryption at rest and in transit for all customer data
- Network segmentation and firewall configuration management
Additional Trust Service Criteria
- Availability: uptime monitoring, capacity planning, and failover (A1)
- Confidentiality: data classification, encryption, and disposal (C1)
- Processing integrity: input validation, error handling, and output review (PI1)
- Privacy: notice, consent, collection limitation, and data retention (P1)
- Customer data isolation in multi-tenant architectures
- Data retention and secure deletion policies
Why Matproof
Built for how SaaS teams actually work
SaaS-native evidence collection
Matproof integrates directly with GitHub, GitLab, AWS, GCP, Azure, Okta, Google Workspace, Jira, and Linear. Evidence flows automatically - code review approvals, deployment logs, access changes, and configuration snapshots. No manual screenshots or spreadsheet tracking.
CI/CD compliance without slowing deployments
Matproof monitors your CI/CD pipeline and automatically captures evidence of change management controls - PR approvals, automated test results, deployment authorizations, and rollback events. Deploy 100 times a day and still have audit-ready evidence for every change.
Continuous cloud configuration monitoring
Real-time monitoring of your cloud infrastructure against SOC 2 requirements. When an IAM policy changes, a bucket loses encryption, or a security group opens, Matproof detects the drift, alerts your team, and documents the remediation for your auditor.
ISO 27001 cross-mapping included
Many SaaS companies need both SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Matproof maps controls across both frameworks - about 70% of controls overlap. Achieve both certifications with one compliance program instead of maintaining two parallel efforts.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to get SOC 2 Type II with Matproof?
- SOC 2 Type II requires a minimum observation period of 6 months (some auditors accept 3 months for first audits). With Matproof, you can start your observation period within 2-4 weeks of initial setup - that is the time to connect integrations, implement missing controls, and begin automated evidence collection. The audit itself typically takes 1-2 weeks because evidence is pre-organized. Total timeline from start to report: 4-7 months.
- What if we need SOC 2 Type I first to close deals?
- SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time assessment - it evaluates whether your controls are designed appropriately as of a specific date. With Matproof, you can be Type I ready in 4-6 weeks. Many SaaS companies use Type I to unblock enterprise deals while the Type II observation period runs in parallel. Matproof supports both Type I and Type II from the same platform.
- Which Trust Service Criteria should SaaS companies include?
- Security (Common Criteria) is required for every SOC 2 report. Most SaaS companies also include Availability (uptime commitments are in your SLA) and Confidentiality (you handle customer data). Processing Integrity and Privacy are included when relevant - PI if data accuracy matters to your product, Privacy if you process end-user personal data. Matproof recommends the right scope based on your product and customer requirements.
- Does Matproof work with our existing cloud and DevOps tools?
- Yes. Matproof integrates with the tools SaaS teams already use: GitHub and GitLab for code review evidence, AWS/GCP/Azure for infrastructure configuration monitoring, Okta and Google Workspace for identity and access management, Jira and Linear for change management tracking, and Slack for security alerts. New integrations are added regularly based on customer requests.
