SOC 2 Evidence Studio for Platform Teams
Hands-on labs that translate control objectives into ticket-ready evidence packages without spreadsheet sprawl.
Overview
This program walks platform owners through sampling design, change-management hooks, and narrative drafting that external reviewers can follow quickly. You will mirror real ticketing systems, map controls to services, and rehearse walkthrough interviews. Cohorts mix short async readings with live working sessions so teams can bring their own backlog items. The capstone produces a reusable evidence index template aligned to your service catalog naming.
What is included
- Control-to-service mapping workshop with worked examples
- Evidence index pattern library you can fork internally
- Peer review of two evidence drafts with facilitator notes
- Office-hour blocks for redacting sensitive screenshots safely
- Checklist for vendor subprocessors referenced in narratives
- Guidance on linking deployment logs to change tickets
- Optional add-on: facilitated readout with your security lead
Outcomes
- Produce a reviewer-friendly evidence pack for one critical service
- Standardize how screenshots and logs are labeled and stored
- Reduce back-and-forth questions during onsite or virtual reviews

Participant questions
You can use a staging environment if it mirrors production controls, but at least one realistic change ticket trail is required for the capstone.

“The mapping workshop finally synced our Kubernetes namespaces with the control list the board asks about each quarter.”
“Wish we had one more week on vendor evidence, yet the office hours covered enough to unblock us.”
