Inviting your team
Last updated July 2026 · 5 min read
SOC 2 is rarely a one-person job. ReadySOC lets you invite unlimited team members to collaborate in your workspace.
Roles
There are two roles in ReadySOC:
- Admin — Can do everything: update controls, upload evidence, invite team members, and change settings. Give this role to your CTO, security lead, or compliance manager.
- Member — Can view and update controls and upload evidence, but cannot invite others or change workspace settings. Good for engineers and other contributors.
How to invite someone
1
Go to Team
Click Team in the left sidebar. You must be an Admin to see this page.
2
Enter their email and role
Type their work email, select Admin or Member, and click Send invitation.
3
They receive a sign-in link
The invitation is sent as a magic link — they click it, enter their name, and are immediately added to your workspace. No password setup required.
Note: Invitation links expire after 7 days. If someone doesn't accept in time, simply send them another invitation.
Managing existing members
On the Team page, you can:
- Toggle role — Switch any member between Admin and Member at any time.
- Remove — Remove a member from the workspace. Their contributions (control updates, evidence uploads) remain.
Who should you invite?
A typical SOC 2 team includes:
- CTO or VP Engineering — overall accountability
- Security or DevOps lead — implements technical controls
- Engineering manager — assigns and tracks control owners
- Legal or compliance — handles policy documents
