When security paperwork becomes a business problem.

Security questionnaires and SOC 2 requests usually arrive at the worst possible time: in the middle of a sales cycle, insurance renewal, vendor review, contract negotiation, or investor conversation.

The form may ask about MFA, EDR, logging, backups, encryption, vendor risk, incident response, secure development, change management, policies, employee training, access reviews, and evidence. Some answers may be clear. Others may be partial, vendor-dependent, undocumented, or not true yet.

402InfoSec helps translate the request, identify what is real, organize evidence, flag risky answers, and build a practical roadmap without pretending you have a mature security program overnight.

Best fit when...

  • A customer sent a security questionnaire before signing or renewing.
  • Cyber insurance is asking technical questions your team is unsure how to answer.
  • A vendor, partner, or contract reviewer wants policies or evidence.
  • SOC 2 is becoming a sales blocker.
  • You need to understand what is true before answering yes.
  • You need a gap list and remediation plan before a deadline.
  • You want help without committing to an MSSP contract.

What 402InfoSec does

  • Reviews the questionnaire, request, or SOC 2 readiness pressure.
  • Translates confusing control language into plain English.
  • Identifies whether each control exists, partially exists, is vendor-managed, is undocumented, or is missing.
  • Helps identify what evidence may support the answer.
  • Flags vague, risky, or overconfident response language.
  • Connects questions to Microsoft 365, identity, email, endpoint, backup, policy, vendor, and recovery realities.
  • Drafts suggested response language where appropriate.
  • Builds a practical gap list.
  • Creates a prioritized remediation roadmap.

FAQ

Questions before a sprint.

Can you complete the questionnaire for us?

402InfoSec can help review questions, identify evidence, explain what is being asked, and draft suggested response language where appropriate. Final answers should reflect what your business can stand behind.

What if we do not have a clean yes or no answer?

That is common. Some controls are partial, vendor-managed, planned, informal, or undocumented. The sprint helps clarify the current state and decide what to say, what to fix, and what to document.

Can this help before a SOC 2 audit?

Yes. This service can help organize policies, control notes, evidence, gap lists, and remediation priorities before you work with a SOC 2 auditor.

Will this guarantee cyber insurance approval or customer acceptance?

No. 402InfoSec does not guarantee approval, acceptance, audit success, or certification. The goal is accurate understanding, better evidence, and practical risk reduction.

Do we need to send sensitive records first?

No. Start with the decision in front of you. Do not send passwords, financial records, incident evidence, customer data, protected health information, legal documents, or highly sensitive material in the first message.
