SOC 2
SOC 2 readiness as an engineering install.
Map Trust Services Criteria to pull-request gates, policy-as-code, and an evidence index in the systems you already run. Yellow Theme is not the auditor. An independent CPA issues the report.
From criteria to evidence trail
- Trust Services Criteria — scope a primary cloud and defined repos for the first pass.
- PR and CI gates — enforceable checks that fail closed when a control is missing or a model draft is wrong.
- Evidence index — control id to artifact, reproduce steps, and export shape an assessor can open.
Guardrails is typically mid five figures for a fixed-fee SOW. Exact fee, deposit, and timeline are in the SOW only.
Inspectable proof (synthetic)
Public samples are synthetic and labeled. They show the shape of the work — not a client outcome or a guarantee.
Boundaries that stay honest
- We do not replace your GRC platform. Platforms organize the program; we install gates in git. Yellow Theme vs GRC platforms.
- We cannot guarantee an independent auditor’s opinion or a pass-by date.
- AI may assist under zero-data-retention; a person reviews artifacts before they ship.
Not sure where the gaps are?
Start with a free readiness check for direction — not a score. Or brief a bounded read-only teardown; the fee credits toward Guardrails within 90 days when you continue. Exact teardown fee is in the SOW.
Start with the constraint
Create a brief for SOC 2 / HIPAA Guardrails, or check readiness first. Written fit note and fixed-fee SOW before any deposit.
