A live, expert-led workshop — not a course, not a consultant, not a checklist. You get 12 structured sessions, every policy template, a full evidence package, and a dry run with your auditor. Done in 90 days.
Not a course. Not a consultant. A structured workshop with a real path to immutable, on-chain compliance.
Most organizations pursuing ISO 27001 or SOC 2 spend 12 to 18 months lost in spreadsheets, fighting consultants over deliverables, and producing evidence auditors barely trust.
That uncertainty bleeds into your pipeline. Enterprise deals stall. Customers ask for your SOC 2 report and you don't have one. Every month you're not audit-ready is a month your competitors close deals you can't.
BlockSkunk Ready runs in structured 90-day cohorts. Every session maps directly to a framework requirement. By the time your cohort ends, your auditor walks into a clean room — not a construction site.
For most organizations selling into enterprise, regulated, or government markets — yes. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 have moved from "nice to have" to hard contract gates across every major sector.
| Segment | Must-Have | Why It's a Hard Gate |
|---|---|---|
| B2B SaaS → US Enterprise | SOC 2 Type 2 | Enterprise procurement blocks vendors without it. Deals stall at the security review — or go to a certified competitor. |
| Fintech / Banks / Credit Unions | SOC 2 Type 2 | NCUA and FFIEC regulations require financial institutions to audit every technology vendor. No SOC 2, no contract. |
| Financial Services (EU & Global) | ISO 27001 | DORA (in force Jan 2025) legally requires ISO 27001-equivalent controls for EU financial entities and all ICT vendors serving them. |
| Segment | Must-Have | Why It's a Hard Gate |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare / HealthTech | SOC 2 Type 2 + HIPAA | Required in almost every enterprise vendor questionnaire for vendors touching PHI — BAA requirements and procurement checklists. |
| EU / Global Expansion | ISO 27001 | DORA, NIS2, and GDPR alignment. Required in RFPs across Europe, APAC, and the Middle East. |
| Fortune 500 Vendor Lists | Both | Dual compliance expected. Enterprise procurement now automates vendor risk assessment — missing either is a default disqualifier. |
| Government Contracting | ISO 27001 or SOC 2 | FedRAMP alignment for federal cloud vendors. ISO 27001 required for non-US government contracts. |
| Legal / Law Firms | SOC 2 or ISO 27001 | Enterprise clients are writing attestation requirements directly into contracts and RFPs. |
| Segment | Must-Have | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing & Supply Chain | ISO 27001 | Already mandatory for suppliers in Europe and Asia. Increasingly expected in North American supply chains. |
| MSPs / IT Service Providers | SOC 2 Type 2 | Standard onboarding condition for enterprise clients — replaces the vendor security questionnaire entirely. |
| HR Tech, Legal Tech, EdTech | SOC 2 Type 2 | Hard gate in enterprise procurement for vendors handling sensitive user data. |
Whichever sector you're in — the May 1st cohort is 90 days away from your answer being yes.
Find Your TrackEvery element is designed around one outcome: walking into your audit prepared — not scrambling.
Move through every milestone alongside peers — deadlines are real, momentum is shared, and falling behind isn't an option.
Every session maps to a specific framework requirement — from risk assessment to evidence packaging — so nothing slips through.
Every cohort includes a free trial of our on-chain risk ledger — compliance evidence that's tamper-proof and audit-ready from day one.
A new cohort opens every month. Start when it makes sense for your business — not when a consultant has a gap.
Walk into your audit with a complete, organized evidence package — not a folder of screenshots and last-minute spreadsheets.
ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type 2 — each cohort is tailored to your specific framework and regulatory context.
Two tracks to audit readiness — different scopes, timelines, and audiences. Here's exactly how they compare.
| ISO 27001 | SOC 2 Type 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| What it proves | Your ISMS is designed, implemented, and actively managed | Your controls are designed AND operate effectively over a sustained period |
| Audit type | Third-party certification by an accredited body — Stage 1 documentation review + Stage 2 implementation audit | Attestation by a licensed CPA firm — evidence reviewed over 3–12 months |
| Recognition | InternationalRecognized globally — EU, Asia, Middle East | North AmericaGold standard for US enterprise & regulated sectors |
| Coverage | 93 Annex A controls across people, physical, organisational & technological domains | 5 Trust Services Criteria — tested over time |
| Observation period | None — controls assessed at implementation | 3–12 months — controls must be operating consistently throughout |
| Readiness timeline | 90 days with BlockSkunk Ready | 90 days prep with BlockSkunk Ready+ observation period (3–12 mo.) |
| Typical cost (without BlockSkunk) | $50,000–$200,000 initial | $47,000–$135,000+ |
| Best for | Companies selling into EU/international markets, financial institutions, MiCA / DORA / GENIUS Act environments | Companies with maturing programs needing to satisfy enterprise security reviews and long-term vendor relationships |
| Renews | 3-year certificate; annual surveillance audits | Typically renewed annually — new observation period each cycle |
