SOC 2 in Pune: questions clients ask

Why do Pune software firms get asked for SOC 2?

Their customers run vendor reviews, and one independent report answers many of the questions at once. Hosting operators planned at Talegaon would face the same ask. The report is written by a licensed CPA firm after examining the controls, and Sterling prepares your controls and evidence for it.

Which Trust Services Criteria should be in scope?

Security is always included. Add availability, confidentiality, processing integrity or privacy when your services or client commitments depend on them. More criteria mean more controls to evidence. Let client requirements guide the selection. Sterling can test the approach with you before the assessment begins.
