FAQ

How does SOC 2 compliance help close enterprise deals?

Enterprise procurement teams and IT security reviewers require documented proof of security controls before approving software vendors. SOC 2 Type II is the most recognized form of that proof. Trava clients report zero compliance-related deal losses after certification, compared to lost opportunities pre-engagement. Certification also reduces the time spent on security questionnaires and vendor review processes throughout the sales cycle.

Can a GRC tool replace a compliance partner?

GRC tools automate evidence collection and help manage compliance workflows, but they don't build your program, write your policies, prepare you for auditor questions, or advocate for your organization when findings arise. Trava uses its own technology platform alongside expert advisory services. Most SaaS companies that come to us have already tried a GRC tool alone and found it wasn't enough.

Do SaaS companies need both SOC 2 and ISO 27001?

It depends on your market. SOC 2 is the dominant standard for US enterprise sales. ISO 27001 is more commonly required for European customers, government partnerships, and certain enterprise segments. Trava builds multi-framework programs that achieve both efficiently, using overlapping controls to minimize duplicated effort.

What's the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?

SOC 2 Type I evaluates whether your controls are designed appropriately at a single point in time. Type II evaluates whether those controls operated effectively over a sustained period (typically 6-12 months). Most enterprise buyers and investors ultimately want Type II, as it demonstrates consistency rather than just intent. Trava helps companies pursue both in sequence, starting with Type I to clear early-stage requirements while building toward Type II.

How long does it take to get SOC 2 certified?

SOC 2 Type I can typically be achieved in 8-12 weeks with an experienced partner. Type II requires a minimum observation period (usually 6-12 months) in which your controls are monitored before the audit concludes. Trava clients achieve readiness up to 75% faster than organizations working without a dedicated compliance partner, because our team handles evidence collection, policy documentation, and auditor coordination, removing the manual work that typically extends timelines.
