2026 Assessment & Readiness Tool
This free tool helps your organization plan, track, and achieve SOC 2 (and SOC 1/3) compliance. Everything runs in your browser — no account required, no data leaves your device.
The core checklist. All AICPA Trust Service Principles are listed here — Security (CC1–CC9), Availability (A1), Processing Integrity (PI1), Confidentiality (C1), and Privacy (P1–P8). Updated for 2026 to include AI/ML governance, zero trust network access, SBOM, IaC security scanning, SIEM platforms, EDR deployment, ransomware response playbooks, tabletop exercises, DDoS mitigation, phishing simulation programs, board-level security governance, multi-state US privacy law compliance, breach notification timelines, and cross-border data transfer mechanisms.
A visual overview of your compliance progress across all principles. Shows percentage completion per Trust Service Principle so you can see at a glance where you are strong and where gaps exist.
A lightweight task tracker for compliance work items. Create tasks for any requirement, assign them to team members, set due dates, and track completion.
Generate audit-ready reports based on your current checklist state. Four report types are available, plus a SOC certification path tracker.
Comprehensive reference material to help you understand which SOC report type fits your situation and what auditors look for.
All checklist progress, notes, and tasks are stored in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. Clearing your browser data will clear your progress.
Use the Export button in the Assessment tab to download your full dataset as JSON. Re-import it later to restore your progress on any device.
No. This tool helps you prepare for a SOC audit by tracking control implementation and identifying gaps. An official SOC 2 report must be issued by a licensed CPA firm performing an SSAE 18 engagement.
Most organizations starting from scratch target SOC 2 Type I first (2–4 months, lower cost), then proceed to Type II (6–12 month observation period). Use the Education tab's decision guide to confirm the right path for your situation.
The AICPA's Trust Services Criteria (SSAE 18) are the authoritative standard. The 2026 additions in this tool (AI/ML governance, zero trust, SBOM, IaC, cloud resilience) reflect areas that modern auditors increasingly examine under existing TSC criteria — they are not separate official criteria.
Export your data as JSON from the Assessment tab, then share the file. Your teammates can import it using the Import button on the same page to load your saved state.
