Executive Summary

SOC 2 compliance is often viewed as a costly and complex process — especially by small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs). But in today’s market, security and trust are non-negotiable. For SMBs, achieving SOC 2 compliance can unlock new revenue streams, bigger contracts, and long-term cost savings.

Motomtech’s Technology Department as a Service (TDaaS) delivers SOC 2–ready systems and processes without the burden of building an internal compliance team.

Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters for SMBs

Failing to meet these standards can mean:

• Lost deals and RFP disqualifications.

• Higher cyber insurance premiums.

• Costly remediation after a breach.
