I'm part of a small IT team at a startup and SOC 2 compliance is essential for us. Our CEO is leaning towards using Delve because of its AI features, but I feel a bit hesitant since it's fairly new. Does anyone have insights on potential challenges or issues we might face if we choose Delve for our SOC 2 compliance? Any feedback or experiences would be appreciated!

Maintaining SOC 2 compliance is no joke, even with a dedicated team and resources. I haven't used Delve, but if you think it's easy—think again! You might find yourself overwhelmed by all the documentation and control processes that need to be set before the audit kicks off. Expect a significant time commitment, even with a tool at your disposal.
I checked out Delve and while they present well, they seem to promise what you want to hear, especially regarding AI. Tools like Secureframe are more established and do a better job with SOC 2 requirements. If you're pressed for time, I'd recommend going with a more reliable option.
Be prepared to spend a considerable amount of time documenting everything and adjusting processes. Even with a tool, you're still looking at a real audit that can take months. SOC 2 isn't just about having a tool; you need solid policies and practices in place, and an actual auditor will review how well you've implemented everything. It's a lot of work!
Thanks for the heads up! You’ve confirmed some of my worries about underestimating the workload.
