How long does a SOC 2 audit take?

Typically, the entire SOC 2 audit process takes around 5 weeks to 3 months. The exact time depends on factors like how much is being audited (the scope) and how many controls are being looked at.

During the audit phase:

• The auditor will give you a list of things they need and conduct tests on your controls, following the Trust Service Criteria you chose.
• They’ll collect evidence, review documents, and talk to your team members.
• Once they’ve got all they need, they’ll create your official SOC 2 report. This report will tell you if you passed the audit or not.
