📄 6 pages ⏱ 15 min read

When your SOC 2 audit kicks off, your auditor sends an evidence request list — screenshots, logs, exports, configuration records, documentation. For most founders doing their first audit, it arrives and immediately creates a two-week scramble. It does not have to be that way. With this checklist, you can pre-collect the bulk of your evidence four to six weeks before the audit starts, organized into the 11 categories auditors expect.

What's Inside

  • All 11 evidence categories auditors request — from policies and access control to vendor risk and BCP/DR
  • Where to find each item in your existing tools (AWS, GitHub, your HRIS, and more)
  • Type 1 vs. Type 2 evidence requirements — and what changes for an observation period audit
  • Pro tips for organizing, labeling, and dating evidence so auditors can work efficiently
  • The three most common stumbling blocks and how to get ahead of them
