Overview
US enterprise clients require
SOC 2 as a procurement condition.
System and Organisation Controls 2 (SOC 2) is the de facto security standard for SaaS companies selling to US enterprise clients. Most US enterprise procurement teams now require a SOC 2 Type II report before signing a contract. Without it, Indian SaaS companies are excluded from deals regardless of product quality.
Our readiness assessment maps your current controls against the AICPA Trust Service Criteria across the five categories you choose to include, identifies gaps that would result in qualified opinions, and gives you a prioritised remediation plan to pass your first Type I or Type II audit.
Why This Matters
SOC 2 audits are expensive. A failed audit or a qualified opinion wastes the audit fee and delays the sales cycle by months. Our readiness assessment costs a fraction of an audit fee and eliminates the risk of surprises during the actual audit.
