Type II readiness — 60-person AWS SaaS — 6-month timeline

Overall grade: C+ / on-track if you start now. Six months is achievable but tight; you need a 3-month observation window which means controls must be effective by month 3.

By CC group:

  • CC1 (Control Environment) — B. Code of conduct, org chart, board comms likely fine. Gap: documented workforce screening attestations for the last 12 months. Fix: HR signs off retroactively + new template going forward.
  • CC2 (Communication & Information) — B. Trust page + DPA in place if customer-facing. Gap: internal incident-comms procedure isn't formal. Fix: 1-page runbook.
  • CC3 (Risk Assessment) — D. Almost always the weakest. Need a documented annual risk assessment + risk register. Fix: 2-day workshop, output the deliverables.
  • CC4 (Monitoring) — C. Vanta covers most. Gap: management review cadence isn't scheduled. Fix: quarterly review on calendar with sign-off.
  • CC5 (Control Activities) — B. Github branch protection + Linear flow likely covers SDLC. Gap: change-management evidence at PR-merge time. Fix: PR template requires reviewer sign-off + ticket link.
  • CC6 (Logical Access) — C. SSO good, MFA enforced? Gap: privileged-access review on AWS root + GitHub admin. Fix: quarterly access review, documented.
  • CC7 (System Operations) — B. CloudWatch + alerts. Gap: documented incident-response runbook with severity tiers. Fix: 1-page runbook + tabletop exercise.
  • CC8 (Change Management) — B. Covered by SDLC if PR process is enforced.
  • CC9 (Risk Mitigation) — D. Vendor due-diligence is almost always missing for early companies. Fix: vendor risk questionnaire + SOC 2 collection on top 10 vendors.
  • Availability — B. Multi-AZ likely. Gap: documented RTO/RPO + backup-restore evidence. Fix: quarterly restore drill, screenshot evidence.

Top 7 controls to remediate before observation window opens:

  1. Document risk assessment + register (CC3) — biggest gap
  2. Vendor due-diligence for top 10 vendors (CC9)
  3. PR template enforcing reviewer + ticket reference (CC5/CC8)
  4. Quarterly privileged-access review (CC6)
  5. IR runbook + tabletop (CC7)
  6. Restore-from-backup drill, screenshot evidence (Availability)
  7. Workforce screening attestation backlog (CC1)

Start Mon. Auditor walkthroughs by month 3. Real Type II window opens then.
