Confirm scope
Start with the systems, services, locations, subprocessors, data types, users, and trust services criteria in scope. A readiness checklist should make scope explicit before evidence collection starts.

What buyers should know.
Map controls to evidence
Common evidence includes access reviews, MFA and SSO configuration, change management, vulnerability management, endpoint coverage, backup proof, vendor reviews, incident records, and policy attestations.
Check freshness and ownership
Auditors need current, attributable evidence. Assign owners, track stale proof, document exceptions, and connect remediation to the controls it supports.
Where Blaise fits
Blaise maps SOC 2 work through the SCF crosswalk, collects live evidence, files document intelligence findings as reviewable evidence, and prepares auditor packages. Blaise prepares and evidences the program; it does not issue the SOC 2 report.
