Customer Profile

• Boutique SOC 2 readiness consultancy
• Works with SaaS companies preparing for audits
• Delivers policy review, remediation guidance, and audit support

‍

The Challenge

• Clients arrived with existing policies but unclear compliance coverage
• Manual review was time-intensive and inconsistent
• Difficult to prove which policy text supported which SOC 2 controls
• Scaling delivery required hiring expensive reviewers

‍

How They Used CMAI

• Uploaded known “baseline compliant” policies
• Submitted customer policies through CMAI API
• Mapped policy text to SOC 2 CC controls automatically
• Compared baseline vs. customer control coverage
• Generated missing-control reports and targeted policy recommendations

‍

Implementation Pattern

Policy Docs → CMAI API → SOC 2 Control Coverage JSON → Consultant Report + Remediation Plan

‍

Results Delivered

• ‍Weeks → Hours for policy review cycles‍
• Objective Gap Analysis instead of subjective interpretation‍
• Scalable Delivery Model across multiple clients per month

‍

Why This Was a Fit

They needed a repeatable way to validate policy coverage and generate defensible outputs without expanding headcount.
