SOC 2 Compliance Services in Gurugram

Because two firms do two different jobs, and a single all-in figure hides the split. Our readiness and audit-support fee is a published band of ₹1.5 lakh to ₹4.5 lakh, fixed in writing after scoping. The CPA firm's attestation fee is separate, quoted by that firm, invoiced by it, and not SecureRoot revenue; our cost guide puts the indicative market range at ₹2 lakh to ₹5 lakh for a Type 1 and ₹5 lakh to ₹12 lakh for a Type 2. If you use a compliance platform, its vendor bills you annually and that recurs whether or not you are mid-audit. Your own team's time is the fourth line and the one most quotes leave out entirely. Any single number you are shown for Gurugram is either excluding one of those lines or guessing at a fee the consultant does not set.

A licensed CPA firm signs it, under the AICPA attestation standards, and it must stay independent of whoever designed and implemented the controls. That is precisely why we cannot sign yours. Run the same four checks on any firm you are offered, including the ones we introduce. Ask for the CPA firm's name and the state board it is licensed with, then verify that licence on the board's own register rather than on a consultant's page. Ask whether the firm is enrolled in AICPA peer review. Ask who at that firm signs, and confirm the engagement letter is between you and them rather than routed through us. Ask for the fee in writing from them. We make the introduction during scoping and you contract directly, so none of that passes through our invoice.

Either, and bringing your own is genuinely fine. If you already have a CPA firm that performs SOC 2 examinations, we work alongside it and support you through its evidence requests exactly as we would with a partner firm. If you do not, we introduce the partner firms we work with during scoping, you choose between them, and you contract with the one you pick directly. What does not change in either case is the independence requirement: the firm signing your report cannot be the firm that designed and implemented your controls, which is the reason we sit on one side of that line and stay there. We take no share of the attestation fee and no referral payment, so we have nothing riding on which firm you choose.

Mostly remote, with on-site days where the work genuinely needs a room. Control design, evidence automation, policy work and document review do not improve by being done in person, and insisting otherwise mainly adds travel to your bill. What is better face to face is scoping, the walkthroughs where your engineers explain how a system actually behaves rather than how the diagram says it does, and the readiness review before the CPA firm starts fieldwork. We travel to your Gurugram office for those from the Greater Noida West branch. We have no office in Gurugram and will not pretend otherwise. We have also not published a fixed on-site day count, so it is agreed during scoping and written into the engagement rather than quoted on a web page.

Start with whatever the customer asking for the report will accept, because commercially that is the only question that matters. A Type 1 reports on whether your controls were suitably designed at a point in time, so it can be delivered comparatively quickly and is often enough to unblock a deal while the longer work runs. A Type 2 reports on whether those controls operated effectively across an observation window, commonly three to twelve months, and the examination and report-writing follow after that window closes rather than inside it. Many Gurugram teams take a Type 1 to answer the immediate request and a Type 2 the following year, which is a sensible sequence rather than a shortcut. What we will not do is promise a Type 2 faster than the observation window allows, because nobody can.

Do whichever one a customer has actually asked for first, and scope the others against it rather than running them in sequence. ISO 27001 certifies an information security management system and an accredited certification body issues the certificate; SecureRoot is not an accredited ISO certification body, so that certificate comes from the body and never from us. SOC 2 is an attestation report written by a CPA firm for your customer's auditors to read. The DPDP Act is Indian law and applies whatever any customer asks, with the core obligations enforceable from 13 May 2027. The control work overlaps heavily across all three, which is why doing them together costs considerably less than doing them one at a time, and that overlap is the first thing we map on the scoping call.
