How Prengi achieved SOC 2 Type 1 with minimal compliance experience and a tight deadline

When Prengi began conversations with customers who required formal security credentials, the team knew they needed to move quickly. SOC 2 Type 1 wasn't something they could put off — deals were progressing and enterprise buyers expected proof.

Like most early-stage teams, Prengi had never been through a formal compliance process before. They had a small, technical team, strong engineering instincts, and a clear drive to get it done. What they needed was a platform that could guide them through the process without requiring a dedicated compliance person — and an audit partner who could match their pace.

The Challenge

Starting from scratch, Prengi needed to build out their full compliance program — policies, controls, evidence collection, risk assessments — while continuing to run a growing product. The team was highly motivated but had no prior experience with SOC 2 audits, audit firm relationships, or the documentation requirements that go with them.

They needed a platform that automated the heavy lifting and made the path to audit readiness clear. They needed it fast, and they needed real support when questions came up.

Why ComplyJet

Prengi chose ComplyJet for its all-in-one approach — a compliance platform that combined automated control monitoring, policy management, and audit firm introductions under one roof, at a price that made sense for an early-stage team.

After signing on, Illia Shulha led the technical implementation. The team moved through the ComplyJet platform methodically — connecting their systems, completing policy documentation, running through compliance checks, and resolving failing tests one by one. Their goal was clear: hit 100% platform readiness before the audit window opened.

The Journey

Prengi's team was hands-on throughout the entire process. They used ComplyJet's support to work through specific questions — from security control tests to audit launch workflows — and pushed hard to complete every open item on the compliance dashboard.

When they reached 100% readiness, they were ready to go. ComplyJet connected them with an independent audit firm for the SOC 2 Type 1 audit. The audit team reviewed their controls, worked through the evidence inside the platform, and resolved minor revisions before issuing the final report.

The SOC 2 Type 1 report for Prengi was delivered in a few weeks.

The Results

Prengi completed their SOC 2 Type 1 audit in just a few weeks — with no prior compliance experience and without hiring a dedicated compliance resource. Their compliance program is now live and continuously monitored, and their Trust Center gives prospective customers instant visibility into their security posture.

For a small, fast-moving team, achieving formal SOC 2 certification opens the door to enterprise conversations that simply weren't possible before.

"Thank you!"
