Common questions

No. We use AWS STS AssumeRole — you deploy a read-only IAM role in your account and we assume it temporarily for each scan. Credentials expire after 1 hour and are never stored. We never have standing access to your AWS account.

SOC2 is what most SaaS companies need — it covers security, availability, and confidentiality. SOC1 is focused on financial reporting controls, required if your product processes financial transactions. SOC3 is a public-friendly summary of your SOC2 that you can post on your website. AuditReady covers all three.

No — you still need a licensed CPA firm to issue the actual SOC2 report. AuditReady helps you get your technical controls in order before the audit, so you pass on the first try and pay your auditor for less time. Think of us as the preparation layer, not the certification itself.

AWS Security Hub and Audit Manager are powerful but take weeks to configure correctly and require significant AWS expertise. AuditReady is set up in 2 minutes, explains findings in plain English, generates Terraform and CLI fixes automatically, and covers Linux servers — not just AWS. It's built for founders, not security engineers.

Yes. Create an account and run your first scan — no credit card required. You'll see your full compliance score, all failing checks, and one AI-generated fix. Upgrade to a paid plan to unlock unlimited scans, full AI fix guidance, and PDF reports.
