Why We Built RapidSOC2: A DevOps Engineer’s Nightmare Turned Solution

Vic Bhatia Avatar

You ever have one of those weeks where you wake up every morning with a new Slack message that starts with, “Hey, can you just take a quick look at this compliance issue?”

Yeah. Me too.

Let me paint you a picture. You’re deep in the zone, writing clean, scalable infrastructure code. Things are flowing. You feel like you’re actually solving real problems—until an urgent SOC 2 compliance request comes in. Some auditor found a gap, and now you’re pulled into a black hole of fixing configurations, documenting controls, and explaining for the hundredth time why a certain security control isn’t as straightforward as they think.

Suddenly, your week is gone. Your roadmap is in shambles. And the work that actually moves the needle?
Pushed to the side—again.

SOC 2: A Never-Ending Fire Drill

SOC 2 compliance isn’t just annoying—it’s designed to be painful. The policies feel vague, the security frameworks rigid, and the audits? Endless. If you’re working at a growing SaaS startup, you’re likely dealing with:

  • Drift detection gone wrong – One misconfigured IAM policy, and now you’re scrambling to prove your cloud environment is secure.
  • Endless documentation – “Where’s the proof?” That’s what auditors keep asking. But no one tells you exactly how to generate the evidence they need.
  • Disruptive audits – By the time an auditor flags an issue, it’s already too late. Now you’re in remediation mode, fixing things under pressure instead of proactively securing your systems.
  • Wasted DevOps hours – SOC 2 wasn’t built for engineers, yet we’re the ones stuck cleaning up the mess. Every hour spent on compliance is an hour not spent on building features, optimizing systems, or scaling infrastructure.

We saw this happening again and again, and we were done. That’s why we built RapidSOC2.

A Compliance Fix, Not Just Another Audit Tool

RapidSOC2 isn’t another checkbox tool that just tells you what’s wrong. It actually fixes compliance gaps.
We built it with one goal in mind: SOC 2 compliance should be as seamless and automated as possible, without pulling engineers away from real work.

Let’s Be Real: Compliance Isn’t Going Away

Like it or not, SOC 2 is the price of admission for scaling a SaaS business. Investors demand it. Enterprise customers expect it. And if you ignore it, it comes back to bite you at the worst possible time (trust me on that one).
But you don’t have to let it derail your work.

At RapidSOC2, we’re engineers who built the tool we wished we had—one that lets you handle compliance without making it your full-time job.
