Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
A discussion about SOC2 Type 2 compliance challenges for solo entrepreneurs. The article explores whether customers actually require SOC2 compliance or if it's often driven by insurance requirements and downstream customer demands. It suggests that while the security practices themselves are basic and should already be in place, the paperwork and certification process is the main hurdle for solo founders.

· 3 pulledEvery time I've been asked about SOC compliance, it turned out the underlying reason was either insurance or a requirement the customer had from their downstream customer.
Neither of those cases would be negotiable, the customer's insurance company only cares about a checkbox that 'All vendors are SOC2 compliant and relevant documentation is on file'.
Actually being SOC compliant isn't that hard aside from the paperwork aspect. Any competent firm should already be doing all the things required, it's the bare minimum for security.
