By all means use tools like these, but be very careful, because they (and auditors that use them) will lead you into engineering changes that are not required for SOC2 and may not be what's best for your team. For instance: there is absolutely no need to set up PHI scanning or a WAF to get SOC2.

My startup has to maintain a HIPAA cert, hence PHI scanning. But, you are correct.

I'm a few years out of date, but I don't believe that any sort of PHI scanning is specifically required by HIPPA either, though I've seen plenty of consultancies happy to sell you it.
