Why “good enough” security answers aren’t enough anymore
For growing businesses, security reviews used to be simple. A quick questionnaire, maybe a reference call, and you were through. But today, more customers and partners are asking for something you can’t gloss over: a SOC 2 report.
Without it, SMBs are running into:
- Slower sales cycles — long delays while procurement teams dig into your security practices
- More back-and-forth — endless clarifications and evidence requests
- Missed opportunities — larger customers won’t sign without independent assurance
SOC 2 Changes the Conversation
A SOC 2 report does more than check a compliance box. It tells the market you:
- Protect customer data according to industry standards
- Have the processes in place to back it up
- Can prove it through independent validation
That credibility speeds up contracts, reduces friction in vendor assessments, and builds trust with bigger customers.
Type 1 vs Type 2: A Business Decision
For SMBs, choosing between Type 1 and Type 2 is often about speed versus depth:
- Type 1: A faster way to show intent and meet immediate demands
- Type 2: Stronger assurance and credibility for larger, long-term contracts
Many SMBs start with Type 1 to get deals moving, then move to Type 2 as customer expectations grow.
