How it works
Five steps from questionnaire to report
- Step 1
Discovery and scoping
We learn what your customers are asking for, which systems are in scope and which Trust Services Criteria you need. You get a written proposal with a fixed scope.
- Step 2
Gap assessment in Vanta
We connect Vanta to your AWS accounts, code repositories, identity provider and HR tools, then turn the failing tests into a prioritized remediation plan.
- Step 3
Remediation
We fix the gaps ourselves: IAM and MFA, logging, encryption, backups, vulnerability scanning, change management. We also write the policies and set up the people processes, like onboarding, training and performance reviews.
- Step 4
Audit support
You choose the audit firm. We prepare the evidence, answer technical questions during fieldwork and help close any requests until your report is issued.
- Step 5
Stay compliant
Type II tests your controls over months, and they must keep working after the report. Our managed compliance retainer keeps Vanta green between audits.

What does a SOC 2 readiness consultant do?
A SOC 2 readiness consultant gets your company prepared for the audit. At Taskew that means setting up Vanta, finding the control gaps, fixing them in your AWS environment, writing the required policies and supporting you while the auditor tests your controls.
How long does SOC 2 take?
It depends on how much is already in place. Readiness work usually takes a few months. A Type II report also needs an observation period, typically 3 to 12 months, before the auditor can issue it. We give you a realistic timeline after scoping.
How much does SOC 2 compliance cost?
Every company's scope is different: how many systems are in scope, which Trust Services Criteria you need and how much is already in place. So we don't publish prices. After a discovery call and a short scoping review, you get a written proposal with a fixed scope. Your auditor's fee is separate. Your Vanta subscription can be bought through us, as your Vanta MSP, or directly from Vanta.
