SOC 2 Assessments
SOC 2 Remediation to prepare for SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audits
NDB offers SOC 2 Remediation solutions for helping service organizations prepare for SOC 2 Type 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audits. The thought of jumping right into SOC 2 compliance without performing any type of meaningful remediation is not recommended. In fact, for service organizations that go that route, they quickly find out how inefficient and time-consuming that approach can be. Bottom line, you need to properly remediate all control deficiencies found during the SOC 2 Scoping & Readiness assessment prior to beginning an actual audit.
SOC 2 remediation services offered by NDB for service organizations consist of the following
- Documentation Creating (Writing Policies and Procedures)
- Technical Remediation (Assisting with Security Controls)
- Operational Remediation (Performing Risk Assessments, undertaking Security Awareness Training, testing Incident Response Plans)
Let’s take a closer look at each of these essential SOC 2 remediation categories and how NDB can assist your organization today

Bottom line, writing information security policies and procedures can take time – a lot of time – and it’s why NDB provides our clients with a SOC 2 Policy Packet full of dozens of policies, procedures, templates – and other helpful documents – for becoming SOC 2 compliant. You don’t need to spend hundreds of hours authoring policies and procedures, all that’s needed is NDB’s SOC 2 Policy Packet – complimentary to all of our valued clients.

Technical Remediation
Many times, service organizations will find that they need assistance with technical remediation.

Specifically, we can help configure IT systems, along with sourcing and helping implement security solutions. Think of NDB as your true one-stop-shop for all of your SOC 2 needs.
