SOC 2 Type 1 - Blocker Resolution Summary

Date Completed: 2026-02-16 Status: ✅ All Critical Blockers Resolved

​
Executive Summary

All 8 critical blockers for SOC 2 Type 1 compliance have been addressed. The codebase now has:
  • Comprehensive security documentation
  • Audit logging infrastructure
  • Secure logging with PII redaction
  • Data retention and deletion policies
  • Backup and disaster recovery procedures
  • Hardcoded secrets removed
  • Enhanced CORS security
Next Steps: Implement the documented policies, run database migration, and begin high-priority fixes.

​
Completed Blockers

​
1. ✅ Fixed Hardcoded Sentry DSN

Issue: Sentry DSN was hardcoded in source files Resolution: Moved to environment variables (SENTRY_DSN, NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN) Files Changed:
  • sentry.server.config.ts - Now uses process.env.SENTRY_DSN
  • sentry.edge.config.ts - Now uses process.env.SENTRY_DSN
  • src/instrumentation-client.ts - Now uses process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN
  • .env.example - Added Sentry environment variables
Action Required: Add both SENTRY_DSN and NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN in production

​
2. ✅ Documented Dependency Vulnerabilities

Issue: Moderate severity vulnerabilities in dev dependencies Resolution: Assessed and documented risk Files Created:
  • SECURITY_AUDIT.md - Vulnerability assessment and tracking
Findings:
  • 8 moderate vulnerabilities in Prisma dev tooling (lodash, chevrotain, hono)
  • Risk Level: LOW (dev dependencies only, not in production build)
  • Mitigation: Documented in audit log, monitoring for Prisma updates
Action Required: Set up monthly dependency review schedule

​
3. ✅ Created Comprehensive Security Documentation

  • Implement user data deletion API (DELETE /api/v1/users/{userId}/data)
  • Create automated retention cleanup jobs
  • Set up monthly cleanup scheduler
  • Update privacy policy on website

​
7. ✅ Created Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan

Features:
  • Production requires explicit origin allowlist
  • Development mode allows localhost

    • Impact: No audit trail until migration deployed
    • Mitigation: Run migration this week
  3. Console.log Still in Use (MEDIUM)
    • Impact: Potential PII leakage
    • Mitigation: Systematic replacement with structured logger
  4. DR Plan Not Tested (MEDIUM)
    • Impact: Unknown if recovery will work
    • Mitigation: Schedule quarterly test

​
Cost Impact

One-time Costs:
  • Penetration testing: 5,000−5,000-15,000
  • SOC 2 audit: 15,000−15,000-30,000
  • Legal/compliance review: 3,000−3,000-8,000
Ongoing Costs:
  • No significant infrastructure cost changes
  • Audit log storage: ~$10-50/month (depending on volume)
  • Backup storage: Included in Neon plan
  • Compliance tools: $0 (using open-source)
