SOC 2 readiness, automated.
Enterprise customers demand SOC 2 Type II before they sign. tecsxpert maps all five Trust Services Criteria, collects evidence continuously, and produces auditor-ready reports — cutting your readiness timeline from 18 months to under 6.
All five TSC categories, fully covered.
CC — Security (Common Criteria)
84 Common Criteria controls covering logical access, change management, risk assessment, incident response, and monitoring. Pre-mapped and evidence-linked from day one.
A — Availability
Uptime SLAs, capacity planning, disaster recovery testing, and incident management workflows — all tracked with automated evidence collection.
PI — Processing Integrity
Input validation controls, error handling procedures, quality assurance checklists, and output reconciliation — mapped to your systems and processes.
C — Confidentiality
Data classification, encryption-at-rest and in-transit controls, access reviews, and confidentiality agreement tracking — continuously monitored.
P — Privacy
Notice, consent, collection limitation, use and retention, access, disclosure, and monitoring controls mapped to AICPA Generally Accepted Privacy Principles.
Continuous Control Monitoring
Automated daily control tests feed your SOC 2 evidence repository. By the time your audit observation window opens, you have months of pre-built evidence.
SOC 2 doesn't live alone.
In tecsxpert, every SOC 2 TSC control is crosswalked to ISO 27001 Annex A, NIST CSF, and DPDP Act obligations. Evidence collected for SOC 2 feeds your ISO 27001 programme and vice versa — no double work.
SOC 2 questions, answered.
What is SOC 2 and who needs it?
SOC 2 (Service Organisation Control 2) is an auditing standard developed by the AICPA that evaluates how a service organisation manages customer data against five Trust Services Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Any SaaS company, cloud provider, or technology vendor that handles customer data — particularly those selling to US enterprises — typically needs SOC 2 certification.
What is the difference between SOC 2 Type I and Type II?
SOC 2 Type I assesses whether your controls are suitably designed at a specific point in time. SOC 2 Type II assesses whether those controls operated effectively over a defined period (typically 6–12 months). Enterprise customers almost always require Type II, as it provides evidence of sustained control operation rather than a snapshot.
How long does SOC 2 certification take?
SOC 2 Type I typically takes 2–4 months from readiness assessment to audit report. SOC 2 Type II requires an observation period of 6–12 months after controls are in place, so end-to-end the process takes 9–18 months for first-time organisations. Tecsxpert accelerates this with pre-built TSC control mappings, automated evidence collection, and continuous monitoring that builds your evidence base from day one.
How does SOC 2 overlap with ISO 27001?
SOC 2 and ISO 27001 share significant control overlap — around 70% of ISO 27001 Annex A controls map to SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria. Organisations pursuing both certifications can share evidence, policies, and control documentation across programmes. Tecsxpert crosswalks all controls automatically, so evidence collected for one framework feeds the other.
Can Indian companies get SOC 2 certified?
Yes. SOC 2 is not geographically restricted — any service organisation globally can be audited against AICPA Trust Services Criteria. Indian SaaS companies selling to US and global enterprise customers increasingly need SOC 2 Type II to close deals. Tecsxpert supports Indian organisations through the full SOC 2 readiness journey with India-based GRC analysts.
