SOC 2 attestation in Hyderabad at a glance
Which report will a prospective US customer ask a Hyderabad software company for? Very often, SOC 2. Capability centres and product firms around HITEC City, Madhapur and Kokapet sell cloud and managed services to enterprises that run vendor reviews, and those reviews end with a request for an independent report on security, availability and confidentiality controls. A SOC 2 attestation is given by a licensed CPA firm after testing your controls against the trust services criteria, either at a point in time or over an operating period. Sterling prepares the system description, controls and evidence from its Mumbai office, with Effivity tracking tasks, so the audit is a confirmation rather than a surprise.

SOC 2 in Hyderabad: questions clients ask
Which Hyderabad firms are asked for a SOC 2 report?
Software, cloud and managed-service firms whose customers are US or global enterprises. HITEC City and Gachibowli host many of them. The request normally arrives in a vendor review, and the customer states whether it wants a Type 1 or Type 2 report. An independent CPA firm issues the report, not Sterling.
Should a Hyderabad company do ISO 27001 before SOC 2?
Not necessarily. The two share many controls, so work done for one carries over to the other. Choose by what your buyers ask for: US enterprise customers often name SOC 2, while global parents and Indian regulated clients more often name ISO/IEC 27001. Many Hyderabad firms eventually hold both, and the evidence base is largely common.
