The ProofBase 17: Essential SOC 2 Type I Readiness
We've synthesized the requirements from hundreds of audit hours into a framework that prioritizes the high-impact controls auditors demand for Type I reports. We have stripped away the 200+ enterprise-only requirements, leaving you with a pragmatic path to closing your first big deal.
5 Audit Pillars
Organized by Auditor Logic
Proving who has the "keys" to your production environments.
Documenting how code moves from development to production securely.
Evidence of how you detect and respond to system threats.
Managing the security posture of your third-party sub-processors.
The policies and governance that define your security culture.
Auditor Insights
The "Insider Knowledge"
The Termination Gap
Auditors verify that terminated employee access was removed within 24 hours by comparing deactivation timestamps to HR records.
The "Catch-All" Risk
Auditors check every system with access to sensitive data, including email and CI/CD panels—not just your main application.
Evidence Freshness
Screenshots older than 90 days are often flagged; auditors want to see the current state of your controls.
Tactical Evidence Vault
Specific screenshots and docs that auditors expect—eliminating the guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about ProofBase and SOC 2 Type I readiness
What's the difference between ProofBase and platforms like Vanta or Drata?
ProofBase is designed for Type I readiness documentation before you're ready for enterprise monitoring platforms. Think of it as 'Step 0' - we help you organize your documentation and understand what auditors look for. Vanta and Drata are for continuous Type II monitoring after you've already passed your first audit. Use ProofBase first ($249/year), then graduate to enterprise platforms ($12K+/year) when you need ongoing monitoring.
Do I still need to hire an auditor?
Yes. ProofBase is a documentation tool, not an audit service. You'll still need to engage a licensed CPA firm to perform the official SOC 2 examination ($8K-$15K typical). ProofBase helps you prepare the documentation so you're ready when the auditor starts their work, potentially reducing their billable hours.
How long does it take to document readiness with ProofBase?
Most founders document their Type I readiness in days using our guided framework, compared to the 3-6 months typical of enterprise platforms. The exact time depends on your current security practices and how much documentation you already have. Our 17-control framework focuses only on what's essential for Type I, not the 200+ requirements of enterprise tools.
What if I'm not ready for SOC 2 yet?
That's exactly who ProofBase is for! We help early-stage companies understand what they need before engaging expensive consultants or enterprise platforms. Our framework shows you the gaps in your current setup and provides guidance on implementing the necessary controls. Join the waitlist to lock in early access pricing and start preparing now.
Is my data secure in ProofBase?
Yes. We use industry-standard AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit. Your workspace data is stored on SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure (Supabase). We will never use your workspace content to train AI models or share it with other users. You can export and delete your data at any time. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
What's included in the $249/year early access pricing?
Everything: The ProofBase 17™ Framework (5 pillars, 17 controls), auditor insights for each control (what they check, common mistakes, implementation tips), 4 TSC-mapped policy templates, secure evidence workspace with cloud sync, professional export package indexed to TSC criteria, and priority email support. This rate is locked in for life as long as you maintain your subscription.
How does the AI assistant work?
The ProofBase AI assistant is built into your workspace and understands the SOC 2 framework. When you're unsure what to write for a control, ask the assistant and it will provide specific, actionable guidance tailored to that control — including example notes, evidence suggestions, and what auditors look for. It's like having a compliance consultant available 24/7.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for first-time subscribers (subject to fair use - see Terms of Service). After cancellation, your data is retained for 90 days to allow reactivation, then permanently deleted.
What happens after I document my Type I readiness?
Once you've documented your readiness using ProofBase, you can export a professional package indexed to TSC criteria and hand it to your chosen auditor. The auditor will review your documentation, conduct interviews, and examine your actual implementation. If everything checks out, they'll issue your SOC 2 Type I report. You can then use ProofBase for future audits or graduate to Type II monitoring platforms.
