How to Prepare for SOC 2 Using Smart Tools
SOC 2 rewards teams that show clear ownership, repeatable workflows, and solid evidence. The fastest way to get there is to manage the whole journey in Jira with structured issues and checklists your auditors can trace end-to-end. We put our approach into a practical guide: Template for Compliance Audit in Jira. It walks you through setup with Smart Checklist for execution and Smart Templates for repeatability, covering scoping, risk assessment, internal readiness, and auditor handoff.
Use this flow to get started:
- Define scope and objectives. Decide on Type I or Type II and select Trust Services Criteria. Security is mandatory. Add Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, or Privacy if they reflect real customer and product needs.
- Form your cross-functional team and owners. Assign Compliance, Security, IT, HR, Legal, and Ops. Map each control to a named owner in Jira. Track due dates and evidence in issue comments and attachments.
- Run a gap analysis and update policies. Compare current controls to the chosen TSCs. Document gaps, remediation actions, and links to policies (Access Control, Incident Response, Backup & Recovery, Logging & Monitoring, Vendor Management). Use Smart Checklist items to make each remediation step testable.
- Implement access controls, logging, and incident response. Enforce least privilege and MFA, set retention on logs, and define severity and communication paths. Add recurring checklist items for quarterly access reviews, restore tests, and incident drills.
- Conduct an internal readiness audit and finalize evidence. Dry-run the audit 2–3 months in advance. Validate that controls are working, screenshots are attached, and ownership is visible. Lock down open gaps and prepare the evidence package for the external auditor.
Smart Templates give you a reusable issue hierarchy for the whole compliance lifecycle. Smart Checklist turns each phase into actionable, verifiable steps. Together, they help you keep the process consistent across products, teams, and years, and create the traceability auditors expect.
