SOC 2® (Type 1 & Type 2)

The universal language of SaaS trust. For startups, a SOC 2® Type 1 provides a snapshot of your design, while a Type 2 proves your operational effectiveness over time. We help you bridge this gap, providing the independent verification of your Security and Confidentiality controls that enterprise buyers demand before they can integrate your solution.

HIPAA Compliance (HealthTech & MedTech)

For startups handling patient data, HIPAA isn't optional, it’s a prerequisite for pilot programs with healthcare providers. We perform the mandatory HIPAA Risk Analysis and technical reviews to ensure your platform meets federal standards for ePHI protection, allowing you to sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with confidence.

Microsoft SSPA (SDPR)

For startups building within the Microsoft ecosystem, maintaining your "Approved" status is mandatory for vendor eligibility. We provide the annual Letter of Attestation required to prove your compliance with Microsoft’s Data Protection Requirements (DPR), keeping your partnership active and compliant.

The Auditwerx Advantage: Test Once, Report Many

Maximize Efficiency. Minimize Disruption.

Founding teams are often overwhelmed by “Review Fatigue,” the constant cycle of answering the same security questions for every new lead. Our methodology solves this by creating a unified technical baseline.

We verify your technical controls—such as your cloud identity management (IAM), automated encryption, and incident response—one time. We then apply that evidence across your SOC 2®, HIPAA, and ISO reporting needs. This “Test Once, Report Many” approach allows your engineers to focus on product-market fit and shipping code, not gathering logs for reviewers.

Startups & Emerging Tech Compliance FAQ

When is the "right time" to start a SOC 2® engagement?

The right time is usually 6–9 months before you plan to move up-market to enterprise clients. While a Type 1 can be completed relatively quickly to show “intent,” most enterprise partners will eventually require a Type 2 report (covering a 3–12 month period) to verify that your controls are consistently functioning.

Absolutely. We work alongside many of the leading compliance automation platforms. Our role is to verify the technical accuracy of that data and provide the professional, independent report that those platforms cannot generate on their own.

A BAA is a legal contract, but it is underpinned by your technical safeguards. We perform the technical reviews required to ensure that when your CEO signs a BAA, your platform is actually capable of meeting the encryption and access requirements mandated by HIPAA.

As you scale globally, customers in different jurisdictions will demand that their data stays within specific borders. We use our ISO 27001 or Privacy reviews to verify your data tagging and cloud-region isolation, proving to your global clients that you can meet their sovereignty requirements.

Yes. For startups utilizing LLMs or proprietary models, we verify the controls surrounding your training data sets and model output integrity. This ensures that your AI-driven features meet the emerging standards for data confidentiality and algorithmic transparency.

While they are separate frameworks, there is significant overlap. We identify the technical controls in your SOC 2® report that satisfy Microsoft’s Data Protection Requirements, streamlining the process to produce your SSPA Letter of Attestation.
