# SOC 2 Readiness Assessment
Assess readiness for a SOC 2 Type II audit. This skill walks through the Trust Services Criteria, identifies gaps, maps to NIST controls, and generates a prioritized remediation plan.
## Security Model
- **No scripts executed** — markdown-only procedural guidance
- **No secrets required** — works with reference checklists
- **IP-clean** — AICPA Trust Services Criteria are publicly cited; descriptions are original writing
- **Evidence stays local** — all collection outputs go to local filesystem
## When to Use
Activate this skill when:
1. **First SOC 2 preparation** — building controls from scratch for initial Type I or Type II
2. **Pre-audit readiness check** — 4-8 weeks before audit window opens
3. **Gap analysis after scope change** — new systems, services, or trust criteria added
4. **Remediation planning** — translating audit findings into actionable work items
5. **Dual-framework mapping** — already pursuing ISO 27001 and need SOC 2 overlap analysis
Do NOT use for:
- ISO 27001 internal audit — use `iso-27001-internal-audit`
- Evidence collection mechanics — use `iso-27001-evidence-collection`
- Contract review — use legal agreement skills
## Core Concepts
### Trust Services Criteria (TSC)
SOC 2 is organized around 5 Trust Services Categories. **Security (CC)** is always in scope; others are optional based on your service:
| Category | Criteria | When Required |
|----------|----------|---------------|
| **Security** (CC) | CC 1-9 (3
