SOC 2 Type I is a point-in-time attestation report evaluating the design of a service organization's controls as of a specific date. It validates that controls are documented and in place — but not that they have been operating consistently. Startups often use Type I as a bridge to close early deals, then transition to Type II within 6–12 months.

Key controls

• Documented security policies
• Access management processes
• Change management workflow
• Incident response plan
• Vendor management procedures
