I'm curious how early-stage founders approach SOC 2.
A few months ago, I knew almost nothing about compliance. Then we started talking to larger companies and quickly realized that security reviews and audit readiness can become important much earlier than expected.
For founders who are currently going through SOC 2 (or recently completed it):
What has been the most confusing or time-consuming part?
Was it evidence collection, policies, auditor selection, access reviews, security questionnaires, or something else?
I'm trying to learn from teams that are going through the process today and would love to hear real experiences.
