Use case

Pass Your SOC 2 Access Review Without a Spreadsheet War

Auditors want quarterly proof that only current employees have access. Most teams cobble it together in spreadsheets the week before. SeatMap generates it on demand.

Who this is for

Security and Compliance leads at SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HITRUST companies.

When this happens

Quarterly access review, audit fieldwork, or remediation after a Type 2 finding.

The workflow

  1. 1.Connect every SaaS in your access scope (Slack, Notion, GitHub, Okta, Microsoft 365, etc.).
  2. 2.SeatMap runs a continuous reconciliation: HRIS active list vs. each tool's user list.
  3. 3.Discrepancies are flagged: ex-employees still active, contractors past end-date, admins with no business owner.
  4. 4.Quarterly Access Review report exports as a PDF — auditor-ready, with reviewer signatures + timestamps.
  5. 5.Continuous monitoring catches new discrepancies inside 24 hours, not next quarter.

What SeatMap detects

  • HRIS terminated but tool active
  • contractor past end-date
  • admin role with no designated business owner
  • service account with human user attached

Tools this works on

  • Slack
  • Notion
  • GitHub
  • Okta
  • Microsoft 365
  • Google Workspace
  • AWS
  • Salesforce

Outcome

Quarterly access review goes from 3–5 person-weeks of spreadsheets to 1 reviewer-hour. Zero Type 2 findings on access in the next audit cycle.

FAQ

Is the export auditor-ready as-is?

Yes. The PDF includes reviewer name, timestamp, evidence trail, and remediation status for every flagged item — matches the format SOC 2 / ISO auditors expect.

What if an auditor asks for a point-in-time snapshot from 6 months ago?

Every reconciliation snapshot is retained. You can export historical reviews on demand.

Does SeatMap require service-account credentials?

No. Read-only OAuth where the tool supports it; admin API keys where it doesn't. We never store passwords.
