SOC 2 attestation in Kochi at a glance
In Infopark's corridors the conversation that follows a successful sales demo is predictable: the customer's security team asks for a SOC 2 report. It is an attestation by a licensed CPA firm that has examined controls against the trust services criteria. Security is always covered, and availability, processing integrity, confidentiality or privacy can be added. A Type 1 report describes design at a date; a Type 2 report tests operation over a period. Kochi's software, animation and managed-service teams meet the request regularly, often alongside ISO/IEC 27001. Sterling does not attest. It scopes the criteria, builds controls, collects evidence in Effivity and prepares staff for the auditor's walkthroughs.

SOC 2 in Kochi: questions clients ask
Why do Infopark companies pursue SOC 2?
Many of the 582+ Infopark companies sell to enterprises in the US and Europe, whose vendor-approval teams commonly ask for SOC 2. The report is an attestation by a licensed CPA firm against the trust services criteria. Buyers decide whether Type 1 or Type 2 will do.
Should a Kochi start-up do ISO/IEC 27001 or SOC 2 first?
Whichever its customers ask for first. US enterprises tend to ask for SOC 2, European and Asian customers often for ISO/IEC 27001, and the controls overlap substantially, so work on one speeds the other. Sterling aligns the evidence so a single control set supports both.
