Your SOC 2 Compliance Checklist from Vanta
Are you building a business? Achieving SOC 2 compliance can help you win bigger deals, enter new markets and deepen trust with your customers — but it can also cost you real time and money.
Vanta automates up to 90% of the work for SOC 2 (along with other in-demand frameworks), getting you audit-ready in weeks instead of months. Save up to 400 hours and 85% of associated costs.
Download the free checklist to learn more about the SOC 2 compliance process and the road ahead.
Tip 1: document your learnings, not just processes
Instead of just writing down what you did for a project, also write:
Any mistakes you made, and how to avoid them
What you learned from the project
How you think it could be improved next time (if your project is a repeatable one)
You can also start a page to save all the work-related things you learn from:
Email newsletters (like mine!)
Video tutorials
Social media posts
Courses
Articles
Do this as you work on your project or as you come across things you learn from. It should only take a few minutes to document.
Tip 2: collect things that inspire you
As a marketer, I often see fun ads or websites that inspire me.
I save all these in a “swipe file” (this is my swipe file, if you’re curious).
You can do the same - save everything that inspires you in a page.
Tip 3: easily reference common information
These are things like:
Key addresses
Contacts or stakeholder information
Details about your customers (demographics)
Insightful learnings
Common questions they ask or problems they have
Compliments people usually give
Summary
Document learnings, not just processes
Collect things that inspire you
Easily reference common information
Your feedback is appreciated ❤
