Most AI startup SOC 2 Type II programs in 2026 are quietly broken.
Here is the part nobody says out loud: the AICPA has not issued new AI-specific criteria. There is no new standard to comply with. What has changed is what auditors ask for in the field, and what enterprise buyers put in their security questionnaires. Standard SOC 2 templates, written for 2017 SaaS companies, have no answer for either.
So teams get asked for model versioning, inference logging, drift detection, training data lineage, AI vendor risk, model provider agreements and AI-specific incident response. Most AI-native startups have none of it documented.
In this one-hour advisory I walk through the 15 AI evidence gaps that show up in audit prep for AI companies, what auditors are actually asking to see, and the fastest way to close them before your next Type II window.
What we cover:
The 15 AI evidence gaps in standard SOC 2 templates
What "model versioning" and "inference logging" actually look like to an auditor
The 5 AI vendor controls most templates miss
How to answer the AI questions in an enterprise security questionnaire
