SOC2 Evidence Checklist

What we check early on SOC2 Evidence Checklist, what usually goes wrong in production, and how teams avoid a rewrite six months later.

Who this is for

Teams that write trade-offs down before coding burn fewer sprints when a stakeholder changes their mind mid-build. We keep ADRs short on purpose.

Decisions that still look smart in 18 months

Ship a thin vertical slice, measure, then widen. Big-bang rewrites rarely survive the first month of real traffic.

Build checklist we actually use

Instrument the happy path and the ugly path. Silent failures are what turn a launch into a weekend incident.

Failure modes we keep seeing

Ship a thin vertical slice, measure, then widen. Big-bang rewrites rarely survive the first month of real traffic.

How we measure rollout

Use boring technology where the risk is operational. Save novelty for the one wedge that makes the product worth buying.

We update this when delivery patterns change on live client work.
