Week 1
Kickoff & Assessment
Scoping. Environment access. Two 90-minute working sessions covering the 100-question gap assessment across 14 control domains, with a dedicated AI/ML subsection.
SOC 2 Type I Readiness Sprint for AI-native SaaS
An enterprise prospect just asked for your SOC 2 report?
You don’t have one.
That’s how AI-native SaaS founders find me. Your enterprise pipeline is blocked, your champion is on your side, and procurement won’t make an exception. Your auditor says it will take four months and doesn’t understand what your stack is doing, your vector database, your LLM credentials, your RAG retrieval data flow.
I run a six-week Type I readiness sprint built for AI-native stacks. One client per quarter, one flat fee, one calendar-driven engagement.
- Flat fee
- $12,000
- Duration
- 6 weeks
- Capacity
- 1 / quarter
50/50 - signature/delivery
Calendar-driven, nothing slips
Focused single-client engagement
The Sprint
Shipped in Six weeks. Calendar-driven. Nothing slips.
Each week has a defined output, a written status email, and a checkpoint call. The deliverables stack week over week so by Week 6 your auditor opens a ready file, not a triage list.
Week 2
Findings & Roadmap
Findings register with severity ratings. Remediation roadmap reviewed and approved with you in writing, no Week-5 surprises.
Week 3
High-Severity Closure
MFA enforcement. AI credentials migrated to a secrets manager with per-environment scoping and 90-day rotation. Anthropic and OpenAI configurations locked. The 14-policy library adopted, including the AI/ML Governance Policy.
Week 4
Infrastructure & Process
Centralized logging deployed. IR plan populated with AI-specific incident categories. Vendor risk assessments complete. Change management gates in place for production.
Week 5
AI-Specific Hardening
Vector database tenant isolation enforced server-side. Prompt injection defenses across the RAG pipeline. Tabletop exercise on a cross-tenant retrieval scenario.
Week 6
Readiness Report & Handoff
Final Readiness Report delivered, executive summary, findings register, remediation roadmap, evidence references. Warm auditor introduction. 30 days of post-engagement email support open.

Who it’s for
The sprint is built for one specific buyer. Here’s how to know.
Good fit
- •AI-native SaaS LLMs, RAG, or vector search in production.
- •Series A or early Series B, roughly 10–75 employees.
- •AWS, GCP, or Azure infrastructure.
- •A customer-driven SOC 2 ask, an enterprise prospect blocking the deal.
- •At least one engineer dedicated for the 6-week window.
Not a fit
- •Pre-seed (fewer than 8 employees), engineering capacity is not yet there.
- •Heavily regulated industry needing HIPAA, PCI, or FedRAMP scope.
- •Already has a SOC 2 report and needs renewal, that’s a retainer, not a sprint.
- •Looking for a guarantee that the audit will pass, readiness ≠ attestation.
- •Wants Privacy and Processing Integrity criteria in scope (we can quote that separately).

Why me
You’re hiring the same security practitioner who designed the controls, not a compliance generalist running a checklist.
I designed this sprint specifically for AI-native SaaS because generic SOC 2 consultants do not understand vector databases, LLM credentials, or RAG retrieval flows. They run the same playbook for fintech, dental SaaS, and your AI startup, and it misses your model, your retrieval pipeline, your provider credentials.
The AI/ML Governance Policy in the deliverable stack, I wrote it for the AuditGuardX product first, then carried the controls back into my practice. The sprint is the same set of principles and decisions, applied to your stack instead of mine.
