SOC 2 Compliance at PayCal

PayCal's SOC 2 readiness program maps Security Common Criteria (CC1–CC9) to enforced system behavior and continuously generated evidence. Quarterly snapshots publish immutable period findings; this page is the evergreen program overview.

Program Overview

PayCal operates a SOC 2-oriented security program focused on verifiable enforcement and traceable evidence, subject to independent auditor validation. We do not claim SOC 2 certification on these pages.

  • Controls in scope: CC1–CC9 (Security)
  • Evidence model: Deterministic scripts, monthly bundles, test-to-control trace
  • Freshness policy: 35-day audit window for mapped artifacts
  • Current posture: Readiness in progress — see latest quarterly snapshot for period status

Latest Quarterly Snapshot

Q2 2026 Quarterly Snapshot — published , covering April–June 2026.

  • Quarter-end readiness status (Q2): Remediation in progress — 0 controls met the full quarterly lifecycle threshold, 5 require evidence refresh, and 4 require targeted remediation
  • Evidence freshness: 14 fresh, 31 stale (45 artifacts)
  • Test surface: 2,434 PHPUnit tests; 8 of 10 test-control suites passing
  • Key Q2 wins: Auth hardening, protected work-data boundary, CI/CD governance transparency, ledger alerting

Quarterly Snapshot Archive

Each quarterly report is an immutable period document. Metrics and control status statements are frozen at quarter close so readers and auditors can compare periods without losing historical context.

How Controls Are Enforced

PayCal treats enforcement as a system property. Controls are programmatically enforced, not just documented.

  • Authentication: Passkey-capable authentication with phishing-resistant flows.
  • Runtime integrity: Continuous drift detection with operational state handling.
  • Output hardening: Guardian sanitization for sensitive DOM/output paths.
  • Quality gate: Automated PHPUnit and static-analysis gates before evidence acceptance.
  • Audit trail: Immutable ledger verification with failure alerting.

Status & Formal Report Access

Status: SOC 2 readiness in progress, with continuous control hardening and deterministic evidence updates.

PayCal does not claim SOC 2 certification or auditor opinion on this page. Formal report access remains NDA-gated.
