Overview
Operating SOC 2 controls across a reporting period is a scheduling problem: each control has to run on its cadence all year, and each run has to leave an artifact behind so a full-period sample is available when your reporting window closes. This workbook turns that schedule into a pre-filled 12-month evidence calendar: recurring control operation activities referenced to the Trust Services Criteria, each with an owner placeholder, a cadence, the months it runs, and guidance on what artifact to keep each time.
Free SOC 2 trackers exist and are genuinely useful — control lists with status and owner columns, evidence trackers, and evidence request lists are all available at no cost. What this workbook adds is the integrated set we did not find offered together for free: the pre-filled recurring operation calendar with per-activity sampling guidance, a monitoring and exception log, and a management review record, in one Excel file instead of assembled from separate downloads.
Everything is editable. Replace the amber [bracketed placeholders] with your owners and dates, remove activities for criteria outside your scope, and add rows for controls specific to your systems. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription. The workbook helps you run and document your controls — it makes no statement about your compliance, and a SOC 2 examination is performed only by a licensed CPA firm.
If you need the policy set as well, the SOC 2 Complete Toolkit ships 22 editable Word templates plus risk register, TSC mapping and evidence checklist workbooks. This calendar is a standalone companion — it is not included in that toolkit.
