What Most SOC 2 Platforms Won’t Tell You

April 24, 2025

Let’s face it, navigating compliance frameworks like SOC 2 can feel like playing a game where the rules are hidden, and the next step is to keep moving. That’s why many businesses turn to SOC 2 automation platforms to lighten the load. Sounds great, right? Well… not always. While these platforms promise to make your SOC 2 journey “easy,” there’s a critical truth most of them won’t tell you: They don’t actually get you SOC 2 certified. Most SOC 2 platforms act as tools, not solutions. They give you dashboards, integrations, and checklists. They help you collect evidence, monitor controls, and assign tasks. And yes, that’s helpful, but it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Here’s what they often leave out:

Custom policy creation tailored to your specific business

Human guidance through complex control mapping and remediation

Real-time updates on regulatory changes that affect your security posture

Audit readiness support with actual humans, not just templates

Most platforms assume you already know what you’re doing or have the time and internal expertise to figure it out. If you're a startup founder or lean tech team, that assumption can cost more.

So, What’s Missing?

Here’s a quick breakdown of what many platforms won’t do: ‍
