Q: Does HAIEC replace my auditor? A: No. HAIEC automates evidence collection and preparation, but you still need an independent CPA firm to conduct the audit. HAIEC reduces auditor hours (and costs) by 40-60%.
Q: How long does HAIEC setup take? A: Initial setup takes 1-2 weeks. Most integrations connect in minutes via OAuth. Policy customization takes 2-3 days.
Q: Can HAIEC help with SOC 2 Type I? A: Yes, but we recommend going straight to Type II. The observation period (3-6 months) is required for Type II, and most enterprises only accept Type II reports.
Q: What if I don't have all the required tools? A: HAIEC provides recommendations for missing tools and can suggest budget-friendly alternatives. Many controls can be met with free or low-cost tools.
Q: Does HAIEC support other frameworks? A: Yes. HAIEC supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and NIST CSF. Evidence collected for SOC 2 can be reused for other frameworks (60-80% overlap).
SOC 2 certification doesn't have to take 12 months and $140,000. HAIEC's automated platform reduces timeline to 6 months and costs to $70,000-$80,000 through intelligent automation and continuous evidence collection.
