Upgraded is seeking to enhance its software to better assist clients in achieving SOC 2 compliance. SOC 2 compliance is crucial for organizations to ensure the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data. The project aims to refine and expand the existing features of Upgraded's software to streamline the compliance process for clients. The learners will analyze the current software, identify areas for improvement, and implement enhancements that align with SOC 2 criteria. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of software development and information security principles in a practical setting. The team will focus on improving user experience, automating compliance checks, and ensuring the software meets industry standards.

The project deliverables include a detailed report outlining the proposed software enhancements, a prototype of the improved features, and documentation of the development process. The team will also provide a presentation demonstrating the enhanced software's capabilities and how it aids in achieving SOC 2 compliance. Additionally, a user guide will be created to assist clients in navigating the new features effectively.
