Most startups view SOC 2 compliance as a necessary evil—something to tackle only when enterprise customers demand it. However, early SOC 2 implementation creates lasting competitive advantages, from shortened sales cycles and stronger security posture to operational scalability and enhanced credibility with investors.
First-time SOC 2 candidates face a 40-60% gap rate, with nearly half of all controls containing deficiencies that can delay certification for months or even years.
