Audit readiness you can measure, not guess at
One live number per framework, the ranked gap list behind it, and an export pack your auditor can actually work with. Where you stand stops being a feeling.
Audit readiness is the measurable state of having your controls implemented, your evidence collected and current, and your gaps known, before an auditor starts asking. Complies makes it a live number: each framework gets a readiness score computed from control status and evidence freshness, updated as work completes, with the ranked gap list behind it so the score is always explainable. Gap flags say in plain language what is missing, why it matters, and what to do next, ordered by how much each item moves the score. When the audit arrives, the export pack bundles controls, mappings, policies, and evidence into one organized package an auditor can navigate, which shortens the back-and-forth that usually pads audit timelines. Teams starting from a reasonable security baseline commonly reach SOC 2 Type 1 readiness in 6 to 12 weeks of part-time work, and the score turns that from a guess into a trackable plan. Readiness scoring and gap flags are included from the Growth plan at $199 per month billed yearly, no sales call, no forced annual contract. The honest limitation is the one that matters most: a readiness score is not a certification. Your auditor decides; Complies gets you ready.
It works alongside compliance evidence collection and compliance reporting software, and plugs straight into soc 2 compliance software on every plan from Growth up.
Complies assists with compliance workflows. It is not legal advice, and it does not certify you or guarantee audit outcomes. Your auditor decides; Complies gets you ready.
What changes when it is in place
A live score per framework
One number computed from control status and evidence freshness, recalculated as work completes. Your board, your customers, and your engineers all see the same honest picture.
Gap flags in plain language
Every gap says what is missing, why an auditor will care, and what to do next, ranked by impact on the score. The work plan writes itself.
Auditor-ready export packs
Controls, mappings, policies, and evidence bundled into one organized package your auditor can navigate without a guided tour, cutting the request-response loop that pads audit timelines.
A timeline you can defend
From a reasonable security baseline, SOC 2 Type 1 readiness commonly takes 6 to 12 weeks of part-time work. The score shows whether you are actually on that track.
Common questions
It is computed from two things: the share of mapped controls that are implemented and the freshness of the evidence behind them. Every point is traceable, so clicking into the score shows exactly which controls and evidence items produce it. It measures preparedness, not outcome: a high score means organized and ready, and your auditor still makes the actual determination.
It depends on your gaps, and anyone quoting a fixed number before seeing your stack is guessing. Teams with a reasonable security baseline commonly reach SOC 2 Type 1 readiness in 6 to 12 weeks of part-time work. Complies gives you the honest version on day one: a baseline score and a ranked gap list you can staff and track weekly.
No, and we say that plainly on the page. Complies assists with compliance workflows; it is not legal advice, and it does not certify you or guarantee audit outcomes. Your auditor decides; Complies gets you ready. What a high score does mean is that your controls are implemented, evidence is current, and the audit starts organized instead of chaotic.
