SOC 2 By the Numbers

For most B2B companies, SOC 2 isn't a milestone you pass and forget. It's the report buyers demand before they'll sign, the control set every other framework builds on, and a cadence of evidence, tests, and questionnaires that never really stops.

This report draws on anonymized data from thousands of active Drata accounts to show what teams actually do — where SOC 2 is growing, how long readiness really takes, and what separates programs that scale from those that scramble.

What You'll Learn

• Where SOC 2 is growing. With ~70% of Drata customers holding SOC 2 attestations, it is now the default first step in compliance. See how adoption splits by region, industry, and company stage — and why buyers are pushing it down to seed-stage teams.

• How long readiness really takes. Enterprises hit their ceiling in 602 days; emerging teams take 829 but are 3x more likely to reach full readiness. Learn what drives the clock — and why waiting delays far more than the report.

• What separates lasting programs. The teams that win with SOC 2 build something they can sustain. See how they use controls, Trust Centers, questionnaires, and integrations to run an always-on program — and which frameworks come next.

See how your program compares, and where to focus next.
