Evidence Collection
Continuous, timestamped evidence across AWS, GitHub, Google Workspace and Okta. Dated trail for Type II audits.
AI Analysis
AI writes your executive summary in auditor-ready language and gives engineers step-by-step fix instructions.
Policy Generation
All 8 SOC 2 policy documents generated in under 60 seconds, tailored to your company, tools, and jurisdiction.
Compliance Posture

Audit Preparation
Incident log, risk register, vendor management, access reviews, and policy acknowledgments. Everything your auditor asks for beyond the AWS scan.
A SOC 2 audit costs $15,000–$50,000. Failing it because you didn't collect evidence costs you the deal, and the re-audit fee.
TrailProof at $299/month is the cheapest insurance you'll buy this year.

AI Audit Intelligence

01 · Executive Summary
AI writes what your auditor reads first
This assessment of Acme Corp's AWS environment demonstrates a strong overall security posture, with 87% of SOC 2 controls satisfied. Multi-factor authentication is enforced across IAM users and comprehensive audit logging is maintained through CloudTrail in all active regions.
The most critical gap identified relates to S3 bucket public access controls (CC6.1), which poses a data exposure risk and requires immediate remediation before the audit window closes…

Stop losing deals to security questionnaires
Enterprise procurement teams send security questionnaires before they sign anything. Most startups spend a week scrambling to answer 50–150 questions about MFA, encryption, logging, and policies they barely remember writing.
TrailProof doesn't guess. It pulls answers directly from your actual AWS environment. If your CloudTrail scan shows logging is enabled across all regions, the answer says exactly that. If MFA is enforced on your IAM users, it says that too. If something is misconfigured, it answers honestly so you know before your buyer does.
Policy questions are answered from your generated policy documents, including incident response, access control, and data classification, so every answer references the actual document your buyer can request.
"The questionnaire is harder than the actual SOC 2 audit. The audit had a template; the questionnaire had whatever their lawyer decided to ask." - r/startups

Yes. Data Classification and Handling Policy covers Public through Restricted tiers.

The manual side of SOC 2, handled
SOC 2 auditors don't just look at your AWS configuration. They ask for your incident history, risk register, vendor list, quarterly access reviews, and proof that employees have read and signed your policies. Most teams scramble to produce all of this at audit time.
TrailProof's Audit Preparation covers all of it, organized, auto-populated from your scan data where possible, and exportable as PDF for your auditor on demand.
The risk register is not generic. AI suggests risks based on your actual failing AWS scan findings, so every risk is relevant to your specific environment.

Frequently asked questions
Is this just a scanner, or something more?
TrailProof is a compliance agent. It collects evidence, but it also has AI that writes your executive summary in auditor-ready language, generates step-by-step remediation instructions for every failing check, and produces all 8 SOC 2 policy documents tailored to your company. Most tools stop at the dashboard. TrailProof handles the entire evidence package.
How accurate are the AI-generated policy documents?
Very good as a starting point, but not perfect out of the box. The AI generates policies tailored to your industry, team size, jurisdiction, and the tools you use. It also references real gaps from your latest scan. Most customers treat them as 80% done: review, fill in your actual processes and role names, then have your compliance lead sign off. That's still a day's work saved versus writing from scratch.
Does the AI have access to my actual AWS infrastructure?
No. The AI only sees the scan results: findings, pass/fail status, check titles, and severity. It never sees your actual AWS resources, configurations, source code, or credentials. Everything is processed inside our infrastructure using Anthropic's Claude.
Is my AWS data stored on your servers?
No. TrailProof uses a read-only IAM role to run checks against your AWS account and stores only the scan results: findings, pass/fail status, and timestamps. Your infrastructure data and credentials never leave your environment.
Does this cover SOC 2 Type I or Type II?
Both, but it is most valuable for Type II. Type II requires evidence of continuous monitoring over a period (typically 3–12 months). TrailProof timestamps every scan result so you have a dated audit trail ready when your auditor asks for it.
How does this compare to Vanta or Drata?
Vanta and Drata are excellent enterprise GRC platforms, but they typically cost $10,000 to $40,000 per year and are built for larger compliance teams. TrailProof is built for technical founders and small engineering teams who need to get SOC 2 ready without a dedicated compliance person. At $299/month, it also includes AI features (executive summaries, remediation steps, policy generator) that the enterprise platforms charge extra for or don't offer.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the Billing page inside the app at any time. You will not be charged again after cancellation.
