Security policies for SaaS companies
Close enterprise deals faster. Generate the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 policies your customers’ security questionnaires demand — in minutes, not weeks.
Why SaaS companies need security policies
For a SaaS business, security policies are not paperwork — they are a sales prerequisite. Enterprise buyers send security questionnaires and require a SOC 2 report or ISO 27001 certification before signing. Both rest on a documented set of policies covering how you control access, encrypt data, respond to incidents and manage your sub-processors. PolicyForge generates that policy layer from templates already mapped to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria and ISO 27001 Annex A, so a small team can produce auditor-ready documents without hiring a consultant.

Frequently asked questions
Which policies do I need for SOC 2 as a SaaS?
A SOC 2 audit expects documented policies for access control, change management, incident response, vendor/sub-processor management, encryption, logging and business continuity, among others. The exact set depends on which Trust Services Criteria you include in scope.
Will these policies help us pass security questionnaires?
Yes. Most enterprise security questionnaires ask whether you have specific written policies in place. Generating and approving them is the fastest way to answer “yes” with evidence attached.
Does PolicyForge make us SOC 2 compliant?
No tool grants a SOC 2 report — only a licensed CPA firm does, after an audit. PolicyForge produces the documentary layer, which is a large share of what the auditor reviews.
Can we keep policies up to date as we grow?
Yes. Policies are versioned and editable, so you can revise them as your stack, headcount or sub-processors change, with an audit log of every update.
Are the documents bilingual?
Yes — every policy is available in English and French, which helps when selling to international customers or operating across the EU.
