In short

SOC 2 attestation in Chandigarh at a glance

A Mohali software company that wins its first large enterprise customer will probably receive a vendor questionnaire within days of the award. The SAS Nagar profile describes Mohali as an emerging IT hub of northern India, STPI's centre there offers incubation and co-location services, and the Chandigarh plan lists data centres among its service sectors, so product and hosting firms are plentiful. SOC 2 is the independent assurance many buyers ask for. An independent CPA firm tests the controls of a service organisation against the trust services criteria for security and, as chosen, availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy, at a date or across a period. It is an attestation, not an ISO certificate. Sterling prepares scope, narratives and evidence.

Access is granted on need and reviewedLogical and physical access is approved on need, removed when no longer required and reviewed regularly.
Changes and operations are controlledSystem changes are authorised and tested, and operations are monitored so incidents are detected and handled.
Risks and vendors are assessedRisks to your commitments, including those coming from vendors and business partners, are assessed and acted on.

SOC 2 in Chandigarh: questions clients ask

Which Mohali firms need a SOC 2 report?

Typically software and service providers whose enterprise buyers, often in the United States, ask for an independent report on security and related controls. An independent CPA firm performs the examination; Sterling prepares scope, narratives and evidence. Many firms aim for the Type 2 report.

How is SOC 2 different from the STPI data-centre services?

STPI Mohali offers infrastructure services such as data-com and co-location, while SOC 2 is an independent attestation on a service organisation's controls. A firm that hosts at an STPI facility still needs its own controls described and tested, and the report covers the firm's system.
