Stay audit-ready between audits — continuously, not just in the eight weeks before renewal. Regulatory change implementation is NOT included. Monitoring and alerting is included. Implementation is scoped as a change order.
Most compliance programs hit a cliff after the SOC 2 report drops. Evidence stops collecting, policies go unreviewed, and by the next audit cycle you are starting over. The compliance maintenance plan prevents that cliff — keeping evidence current, controls active, and the program functional year-round.
Important: Regulatory change implementation (new rules, framework revisions, new frameworks) is NOT included. Monitoring and alerting is included. Implementation is scoped and quoted as a change order.
We set up the ongoing maintenance program at the same time as the initial engagement — so the post-audit cliff never happens.
