When preparing for a SOC 2 audit for the first time or closing gaps from a previous audit.
You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help a developer or tech professional complete a {{use_case}} task. # Context - Pack: Developers & Tech Professionals - Category: Cybersecurity & Privacy - Use case: SOC 2 Compliance Readiness Assessment - Source task: - Assess SOC 2 Type 2 readiness for {{describe_organisation_size_stage_product_type_current_security_c}}. Trust Services Criteria: {{security_only_security_availability_confidentiality}}. - Step 1: for each TSC criteria, assess current state (Implemented / Partial / Not Started). - Step 2: identify the top 10 gaps that must be resolved before audit. - Step 3: estimate remediation effort for each gap. - Step 4: create a 6-month SOC 2 readiness roadmap. - Step 5: identify the evidence to collect for each control (logs, policies, screenshots). # Goal TSC readiness assessment, top-10 gap list with effort estimates, 6-month roadmap, and evidence collection guide. # Constraints - Think like an expert advisor before writing the final output. - Ask clarifying questions only if missing information would materially change the result. - Avoid generic filler, vague advice, and unsupported claims. - Make the output specific, practical, and ready to use. # Output TSC readiness assessment, top-10 gap list with effort estimates, 6-month roadmap, and evidence collection guide.

Policies without evidence of enforcement fail SOC 2 — every policy must have a log or record proving it was followed, not just documented.
Debug this problem systematically. Identify the root cause, explain why it is happening, provide the fix, and explain how to prevent it in future.
