SOC 2 attestation in Bengaluru at a glance
Selling software to a US enterprise from Bengaluru usually means a vendor-risk questionnaire and, soon after, a request for the SOC 2 report. SOC 2 is an attestation issued by a licensed CPA firm after examining controls against the trust services criteria: security always, plus availability, processing integrity, confidentiality or privacy if chosen. A Type 1 report speaks to design on a date; a Type 2 report tests operation over a period. Bengaluru's product companies and delivery centres meet this request constantly, and many pair it with ISO/IEC 27001. Sterling does not issue the report; it chooses scope with the team, builds controls, gathers evidence in Effivity and prepares staff for auditor walkthroughs.

SOC 2 in Bengaluru: questions clients ask
Why do Bengaluru SaaS firms pursue SOC 2?
US and European enterprise buyers often request a SOC 2 report before approving a vendor. It is an attestation by a licensed CPA firm against the trust services criteria, covering security and any chosen extras such as availability or confidentiality. Customers decide whether Type 1 or Type 2 is enough.
Does a Bengaluru company with ISO/IEC 27001 still need SOC 2?
Often yes, if customers ask for it. The two overlap heavily in controls, so an existing ISO/IEC 27001 system speeds readiness, but SOC 2 is a CPA attestation with its own report format. Sterling aligns the evidence so one control set serves both, which saves effort at each renewal.
