How Often Should You Undergo a SOC 2 Audit?
SOC 2 compliance is not a one-and-done exercise.
To maintain trust with customers, most organizations perform a SOC 2 audit annually.
This cadence ensures that your controls remain effective over time and that your SOC 2 report stays current, especially for enterprise customers who often require an up-to-date report within 12 months.
The annual cycle also aligns with the expectations of other frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR, which prioritize continuous risk management and regular validation of controls.
Treating SOC 2 as a continuous journey—not just an annual sprint—helps your organization build deeper operational maturity and maintain readiness for both audits and customer reviews year-round.
