SOC 2 Audits with Secureframe & NDB Compliance CPA Firm

How NDB Simplifies SOC 2 Audits for Austin Businesses Using Secureframe’s GRC Platform

As Austin, Texas continues its rise as one of the top innovation hubs in North America, tech companies across the city are under increasing pressure to meet high standards of data security and compliance. Whether you're a SaaS provider, healthcare startup, fintech platform, or cloud infrastructure business, your clients want proof that you can be trusted with their sensitive data.

That’s where SOC 2 comes in—and where NDB delivers

We specialize in performing SOC 2 audits for Austin-based businesses and bring a powerful advantage to the process: the automation and insight of the Secureframe GRC platform. By combining expert auditors with an industry-leading compliance tool, NDB helps companies streamline readiness, reduce manual effort, and achieve compliance faster.

Why SOC 2 Matters for Austin-Based Companies

SOC 2 compliance isn’t just a check-the-box exercise—it’s a signal to your customers, investors, and partners that you take data protection seriously. SOC 2 reports are based on the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) developed by the AICPA and evaluate your controls related to:

• Security
• Availability
• Processing Integrity
• Confidentiality
• Privacy

A SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2 report validates that your internal controls are appropriately designed and—if Type 2—operating effectively over time. It’s often a prerequisite for enterprise contracts, vendor onboarding, and long-term growth in regulated industries.

For companies in Austin’s fast-paced tech ecosystem, a SOC 2 report can open doors to business that might otherwise be out of reach.

How NDB and Secureframe Work Together to Deliver a Better Audit

At NDB, we’ve audited hundreds of companies across North America and understand the nuances of SOC 2. But more than that, we understand how painful traditional audit processes can be—spreadsheets, document chaos, unclear requirements, and last-minute fire drills.

That’s why we partner with Secureframe, one of the top GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) platforms, to offer a smarter, faster, and more transparent SOC 2 audit process.

Our End-to-End SOC 2 Audit Process Using Secureframe

1. Readiness Assessment & Onboarding

We start with a discovery consultation to understand your business model, tech stack, and risk profile. Then, we work with your team inside Secureframe’s platform to conduct a readiness assessment—mapping your current controls against SOC 2 requirements.

2. Real-Time Monitoring and Automated Evidence Collection

Secureframe connects directly to your tools—AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Okta, Jira, Slack, and more—to collect real-time evidence that supports your controls. This automation reduces the burden on your team and ensures no last-minute evidence gaps.

3. Policy and Control Alignment

We assist in tailoring Secureframe’s policy templates to your organization’s environment, ensuring your security policies align with SOC 2 standards and can stand up to third-party scrutiny.

4. Ongoing Remediation Support

If we identify any gaps or risks during readiness, our advisory team supports you with actionable remediation guidance—so you’re ready for the formal audit with confidence.

5. Independent SOC 2 Audit by NDB

Once you’re ready, our CPA-led team conducts your SOC 2 Type 1 or Type 2 audit directly inside Secureframe. Our familiarity with the platform enables faster evidence review, more efficient communication, and a streamlined audit timeline.

6. Final Report and Post-Audit Support

We issue your independent SOC 2 report and remain available to assist with customer-facing questions, vendor due diligence requests, and annual audit planning.
