Awarded for completing Solo Founder to Audit Ready and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to scope, control, evidence and prepare a small software company for a System and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) examination without a dedicated security or compliance team.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
