Frustration with inconsistent SOC 2 evidence collection

The situation this course is for

Teams hand off control mappings that don’t survive first audit review, leading to rework, delays, and diluted ownership.

Who this is for

Senior technical lead accountable for compliance deliverables in hybrid integration environments

Who this is not for

Junior associates, auditors, or consultants without implementation responsibility

What you walk away with

  • Internalize the full SOC 2 trust services criteria to cold recall
  • Map controls directly to Axway-enabled workflows with confidence
  • Produce auditor-ready evidence packages in under 48 hours
  • Anticipate line-by-line auditor questions before submission
  • Own end-to-end SOC 2 execution without deferring to specialists
