First of all, we achieved SOC2 Type I cert with Johanson Group (excellent auditing works!), and we were ready for the auditing at the end of 2024. We had two problems - we had key people on the process taking long periods off; we needed to time to go through internal reviews first. Thus, we pushed SOC2 Type II auditing dates 6 months out (from the original starting date Johanson Group and us agreed to, and we paid for). Johanson Group not only agreed to standby for that period, but also, give us clear path how to get ourselves ready for the audit along the way, not loose sight of the goal/new-timing, for a smooth auditing. We are very pleased with the professional service we get from Johanson Group and confident that we will achieve Type II done in time with Johanson Group. Thanks, Johanson Group team!

A modern and efficient approach to SOC 2 Type II audits! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew H. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 31, 2024 **What do you like best about Johanson Group?** Great job on communicating status, next steps. Good approach using software/automation to reduce needless meetings and avoid use of huge spreadsheets. **What do you dislike about Johanson Group?** We didn't run into any issues on this project. **Recommendations to others considering Johanson Group:** If you are concerned that a SOC 2 Audit will take too much time - don't be. Use Johanson with a software vendor and get going! **What problems is Johanson Group solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've done quite a few audits historically for SOC 2, FDA/EU, etc. Audits can be *so* time-consuming and involve massive spreadsheets, lots of meetings and lots of distractions. That isn't the case when you're working with Johanson - they take a modern and efficient approach to working with the auditees. Johanson used a security software (Vanta) to do the groundwork and their follow ups questions were then limited to "real" items that required clarification. Each step of the way they use a simple to follow status portal so you can see where you are in the overall audit procedure and when you'll be done. A great experience and so much faster than other firms we've worked with. ### 37.
