The SOC 2 Audit Built Around How You Work
Many audit firms don’t get SaaS. They ask for evidence that doesn’t exist in cloud-native environments. They hesitate when devs can deploy things. They want to see your “server room.” They take months to deliver a report while your deal sits in limbo.
We work with SaaS companies every day and understand how you operate. Our auditors speak SaaS.
Cloud-native fluency
AWS, GCP, Azure – we know how to audit what you’re actually running
Plugs into your stack
We’ll get everything we can from your existing automation platform, then request only the delta needed.

Professionals who live and Breathe GRC
We do SOC 2 for SaaS day in and day out. We are active in GRC industry groups, follow regulatory updates, survey our clients for reception of compliance reports with their customers, and condense all that experience into a smooth audit process.

Dorota Wojcik
Having previously worked with the Big 3 auditing firms, I can confidently say that Render Compliance is, without a doubt, the best auditor I have ever partnered with. They are currently working with us on our SOC 2 Type 2 audits, and their approach has been a breath of fresh air. From day one, they were incredibly quick to learn the unique nuances of our environment, completely bypassing the typical sluggish on-boarding process you get with larger firms. Their efficiency is unmatched, yet they remain highly flexible and deeply responsive to our team’s ongoing needs. If you want a rigorous, high-quality audit without the usual friction and bureaucracy, Render Compliance is the obvious choice.

Render Compliance made our SOC 2 Type 2 assessment remarkably smooth. Their team was responsive, deeply knowledgeable, and proactive in guiding us through evidence collection and control validation. They translated complex requirements into clear, actionable steps, kept the process on schedule, and were always available to answer questions. The engagement felt like a true partnership, and we came away with both a clean report and a stronger security posture.

Selecting Render Compliance for our initial SOC 2 Type 2 audit was an excellent decision. Beau and his team maintained constant communication and were helpful and professional throughout the entire process. We had a great experience and look forward to partnering with them again for our future compliance requirements. Our sincere thanks to Beau and the whole team at Render Compliance.
Sarah Campbell
Working with Render Compliance on our SOC 2 Type II examination was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Their team brought deep technical knowledge, clear communication, and a genuinely collaborative approach to every phase of the audit — from controls scoping through evidence review and final report. They challenged us constructively where it mattered and made the entire process feel like a partnership rather than an inspection. We’ll be working with Render again without hesitation.
Jeffrey Venditto
Render delivered on every aspect of our SOC 2 audit experience. The Render team was proactive in communicating with us, they answered our questions in a timely manner and overall delivered a first class audit experience. They went beyond just checking the audit box while remaining very easy and professional to work with. We are looking forward to working with them for several more years.

From start to finish our experience with Render Compliance has been fantastic. They were transparent and helpful throughout the audit process and supported us with several out-of-scope queries and requests. We plan to work with them again on future audits. I highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions
We're a 20-person team. How much engineering time will this actually take?
Less than you’d expect. We support you as much as an audit firm responsibly can throughout scoping and control implementation. During the audit phase, our Evidence Requests avoid any duplicates, use automated or exported evidence where possible (saving on manual screenshot grabs) and are focused on high-risk areas.
If you lack the time or experience to complete the prep work in-house, check out our recommendations for partners who will coach you through the entire process and can even perform the hands-on implementation and management.
We use AWS and GitHub. Does that change anything?
It makes things easier. We audit cloud-native environments every day and know exactly what evidence to pull from AWS, GCP, Azure, GitHub, and similar tools.
We understand the Shared Responsibility Matrix between what falls in your lap or your infrastructure provider.
Our prospect gave us 60 days. Is that even possible?
Yes. Teams that are either highly motivated, or function in an existing mature data security environment can move fast when needed.
We will consult you on the best advisable path (Type 1 vs. Type 2 audit, project timeline, etc) and enable you to make a confident decision on the ideal approach.
We're already using Vanta for readiness. Can you just work with that?
Absolutely. We work with Drata, Vanta, SecureFrame, Trust Cloud, and other GRC platforms regularly.
We will perform procedures to validate our assurance placed on third party system integrations, then use the platform data for our audit testing, adding manual requests for any delta.
What's the difference between SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2?
Type 1 confirms your controls are properly designed at a single point in time. Type 2 proves they actually worked over a period of usually 3-12 months. Enterprise buyers ultimately want Type 2 – but Type 1 can unblock deals while you build toward it.
What's included in your pricing?
Everything an external auditor can do. Gap assessment, scoping, project management, evidence request lists, audit platform access, report review, planning meetings, and post-issuance consulting. No hidden fees or surprise invoices.
We do not perform specific control design, control implementation, or performance of control activities themselves. You are responsible for understanding and asserting to the compliance of your internal control environment and must complete those activities either in-house or via a separate consultant.
Our SOC 2 attestation provides an independent, expert, opinion as to how you safeguard customer data, measured against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria (TSC).
