Compliance Readiness

From gap assessment to audit-ready compliance, faster and smarter

Cloud360 delivers compliance readiness services that turn fragmented controls into an audit-ready program with gap analysis, policy development, cross-framework mapping, evidence collection, remediation, and pre-audit support for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001.

Readiness is the work before an auditor arrives

SOC 2 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 ask different questions and reuse a surprising amount of the same evidence. Companies get into trouble when each framework is a separate project with its own policy set, its own folder, and its own hero. Compliance readiness at Cloud360 turns that pile into one program: gap analysis, policies, cross-framework mapping, evidence collection, remediation, and pre-audit support.

ISO 42001 is the piece many security programs have not staffed yet. It asks you to run an AI management system, which means the AI systems in your product and in your own operations need owners, risk treatment, and evidence. Readiness puts that next to the security controls you already understand instead of inventing a disconnected AI paperwork track.

Discovery, roadmap, execution, deliverables

Discovery is an honest assessment of what exists. Policies that are aspirational, controls that are real, and evidence that would not survive a sample all get named. The roadmap sequences the gaps so you are not trying to write every policy and close every technical finding in the same week. Execution is the build: policy development, control operation, evidence that matches the control, and remediation of the issues that would become findings.

Engagement deliverables are the artifacts you can hand to an auditor or a consultant running the formal audit: mapped controls, policies, evidence expectations, and a pre-audit review that looks for the problems while there is still time to fix them. Type 1 readiness is about design at a point in time. Type 2 readiness is about whether the control operated across the period. The roadmap says which one you are actually prepared to attempt.

What changes for the team

Owners know which evidence is due and which framework it satisfies, including where one artifact covers SOC 2 and ISO 27001 together. AI use cases are in the same map when ISO 42001 is in scope, so the model inventory is not a side document. Pre-audit support is a dress rehearsal, not a surprise. The outcome is a program that can enter an audit without a month of reconstruction.

Cloud360 does not issue the SOC 2 report or the ISO certificate. Those come from the audit body you select. Readiness is the preparation that makes that audit a confirmation of the program you run, rather than the moment the program is invented.

Frequently asked questions

Which frameworks are in scope?

SOC 2 Type 1, SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001. Cross-framework mapping is part of the work so shared controls are not documented three times. The roadmap says which audit you are ready to schedule.

Do you perform the certification audit?

No. Readiness prepares the program: gaps, policies, evidence, remediation, and a pre-audit review. An accredited auditor issues SOC 2 reports and ISO certificates. We help you walk in with a program that matches the questions they ask.

What is different about ISO 42001 readiness?

ISO 42001 expects an AI management system. Readiness includes the AI inventory, risk treatment, and evidence alongside your security controls, so AI governance is not a separate paperwork project started the month before the audit.

What do we receive?

A gap assessment, a roadmap, executed policy and evidence work, remediation support, and pre-audit deliverables. The aim is an audit-ready program with owners and a trail, not a template bundle left for your team to interpret alone.
