Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Sorvek's SOC 2 compliance solution
Does Sorvek help with vendor risk management for SOC 2?
Yes. Sorvek maintains a continuously updated vendor inventory with security profiles, breach histories, and compliance attestations for each vendor. This gives you the third-party risk documentation SOC 2 auditors expect without building it manually.
Can Sorvek produce audit-ready evidence for SOC 2 reviews?
Yes. Sorvek generates documentation of asset inventory, access review actions and outcomes, offboarding records, and vendor security data, formatted to support the evidence requests that come up in SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 audits.
What SaaS-related controls does SOC 2 require?
SOC 2 requires evidence that you know what systems are in your environment, that access to those systems is reviewed periodically, that access is removed when employees leave, and that you're managing third-party vendor risk. In practice, this means a current SaaS asset inventory, documented access reviews, offboarding records, and vendor security assessments.
How does Sorvek support employee offboarding for SOC 2?
SOC 2 auditors look for evidence that terminated employees lost access to systems completely, including apps that weren't IT-provisioned. Sorvek discovers every app tied to a departing employee's identity, including shadow IT and unsanctioned apps created with a corporate email, and automates deprovisioning across the full SaaS estate.
Why is SaaS discovery important for SOC 2?
Auditors ask for a list of the systems in scope. If that list is built from memory or outdated spreadsheets, you're likely to miss apps, and any app you miss is a gap in your controls. Continuous SaaS discovery means your inventory reflects what's actually in use, not what you thought was in use six months ago.
How does Sorvek help scope a SOC 2 asset inventory?
Sorvek continuously discovers every SaaS and AI app in use and automatically categorizes apps that are commonly within SOC 2 scope, including developer tools, infrastructure providers, and platforms with access to customer data. You get a current, categorized inventory you can take directly into a SOC 2 scoping conversation.
Can Sorvek automate user access reviews for SOC 2?
Yes. Sorvek automates the full access review workflow: identifying who has access to what, sending review notifications to managers and employees, tracking responses, and generating audit-ready reports. Brightpath RH cut its SOC 2 audit time by 66% using Sorvek.
