• Ignoring CC7 monitoring evidence while automating policy PDFs only
• Starting Type II before integrations actually produce samples
• Selecting enterprise GRC without staffing integrations and control owners

How CyberSilo Helps

Use CSA for SOC 2 for TSC-mapped evidence and ThreatHawk when CC7 monitoring proof must be operational. You still engage a licensed CPA firm for the attestation report.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should we choose SOC 2 compliance software?

Match category to need: evidence automation for TSC-mapped artefacts; SIEM-backed platforms when CC7 monitoring proof is central; enterprise GRC when multi-framework risk programmes dominate. Many organisations combine categories. Software does not replace a CPA firm.

Can software make an organisation SOC 2 compliant?

No. Software organises workflows and evidence. A licensed CPA firm performs the attestation and issues the SOC 2 report.

Do we need GRC and a SIEM?

Often yes at mid-market and enterprise scale. GRC holds policies and control status; SIEM produces operational monitoring and incident evidence commonly sampled under CC7.
