Where the consultant stops and the CPA firm starts
A SOC 2 consultant prepares the organisation; only a licensed CPA firm performs the examination and issues the attestation opinion. Blurring that line is both an independence problem for the auditor and a credibility problem for you. Readiness work is yours: scoping the Trust Service Criteria, mapping controls (often from an existing ISO 27001 Annex A baseline), writing narratives, and remediating gaps. The examination, testing, and the report are the CPA firm's. The seam clients ask about most is the bridge letter: between a report's end date and the next report, the prior coverage lapses, and someone has to explain the gap period to the customer. ISMS Copilot keeps the readiness deliverables and the gap-period narrative organised so the handoff to the CPA firm is clean and your scope stays defensible.
Why specialised compliance AI matters for SOC 2 →Frequently Asked Questions
Does ISMS Copilot replace the CPA firm?
No. Only a licensed CPA firm can perform the SOC 2 examination and issue the opinion. ISMS Copilot supports the readiness work that comes before that, and keeps the boundary explicit.
Can I reuse ISO 27001 work for SOC 2?
Often, yes. Many Annex A controls map to the Trust Service Criteria. The tool produces that mapping so clients with an existing ISMS reach SOC 2 readiness faster.
What is the bridge-letter gap period?
It is the interval between a SOC 2 report's end date and the next report's coverage. The tool tracks it so you can prepare the gap-period narrative customers ask about.
