Your auditor wants documented policies mapped to the Trust Services Criteria. The GRC suites bundle that into a five-figure subscription. Charter generates the same SOC 2 policy set, maps every clause to its TSC, and version-controls it — as a standalone product with a free tier.
Mapped to the Common Criteria (CC1–CC9) plus the Availability and Confidentiality categories where in scope.
Information Security Policy, Risk Assessment, Data Classification, Vendor / Third-Party Management, Sanction / Disciplinary, Security Awareness Training.
Access Control, Password / Authentication, Encryption, Physical Security, Mobile & Remote Work — the controls that carry the most SOC 2 test weight.
Logging & Monitoring, Incident Response, Change Management, Vulnerability & Patch, Backup, Business Continuity / Disaster Recovery.
You shouldn't need a whole GRC platform just to have documented policies.
GRC entry runs $7.5k–$28k/yr with policy management as one bundled module. Charter starts free and tops out far below a single platform seat.
SOC 2 expects evidence your workforce acknowledged the policies. Charter records who signed which exact version, with a timestamp and version hash.
Branded PDF, Markdown, or a full ZIP bundle with a coverage report — handed over in one click, no platform login required.
