Compliance & Certification
SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, or a customer-driven security review. We get you to the audit ready to pass.
Most failed first-time audits trace back to a small number of control gaps. We close those gaps in 60–90 days.
What we hear from buyers like you
“We told a customer SOC 2 by end of year. We have no idea if that is realistic.”
“Our cyber insurance renewal requires controls we don't have. Carrier wants attestation by next month.”
“We're a HIPAA Business Associate now. What does that actually require us to do?”
The controls that fail most first-time audits
Access reviews
Most companies can't produce evidence that they review who has access to what on a regular cadence. Auditors flag this immediately.
Change management
If you can't show that configuration changes go through a defined process — even a lightweight one — you'll get a finding. The bar for SaaS-only companies is lower than you think, but it's not zero.
Vendor risk management
You need to show you've assessed the security posture of the SaaS tools your business depends on. A spreadsheet with vendor names and attestation status counts.
Incident response procedures
A written plan with defined roles, a communication path, and evidence of testing. A tabletop exercise with notes qualifies as testing at the SOC 2 level.
How we help
We recommend the Prep Sprint for compliance. It provides a structured path from current posture to audit readiness — gap analysis in phase one, execution thereafter. For companies on tight timelines, we can run the Posture Check and Tune-Up in parallel to close critical gaps while the longer roadmap takes shape.

What our clients say
“We came to View Ridge because our biggest customer made renewal conditional on a SOC 2 readiness attestation. They walked us through the gap analysis, fixed the four controls that mattered, and got us to attestation in eight weeks. The renewal closed.”— Karen B., CFO, SaaS company (40 employees)
“We promised a customer SOC 2 by end of year with no idea whether that was realistic. The Prep Sprint gave us a real timeline and closed the five controls that would have failed the audit. We passed on the first attempt.”— Michelle K., CTO, Health-tech SaaS (90 employees)
