The Challenge
A healthtech company needed SOC 2 Type II to close enterprise deals, but their infrastructure had grown without cost controls or consistent access policies. Security and cost work were both urgent and neither had an owner.

Engagement Lead — Cloud & DevSecOps
Engineering Approach
[01]
Ran a cost audit alongside a security architecture review, since a lot of the fixes served both goals at once.
[02]
Implemented least-privilege IAM, centralized secrets management, and audit logging.
[03]
Automated evidence collection for SOC 2 controls directly from infrastructure state.
[04]
Right-sized compute and moved eligible workloads to reserved and spot capacity.
Business Results
Achieved SOC 2 Type II readiness in 6 weeks, passing the audit on the first attempt.
Monthly cloud spend cut by 32% with no performance regressions.
Access reviews that used to take days now run from an automated dashboard.
Unblocked two enterprise deals that were contractually waiting on the SOC 2 report.
“We expected to choose between cutting costs and getting audit-ready. They found the overlap and we didn't have to choose.”
