Get SOC 2 audit-ready — without the US CPA firm's hourly rate eating your budget.
US and European enterprise buyers increasingly require SOC 2 Type II as a baseline vendor security requirement. For Indian SaaS, IT services, and BPO companies — SOC 2 is often the difference between winning and losing an enterprise contract. Crewtec prepares your organisation for SOC 2 audit: designing the right controls, building the evidence infrastructure, and coaching your team through the audit period. The final SOC 2 report is issued by a licensed US CPA firm — we get you ready before they arrive.
A structured process — so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
Define which Trust Service Criteria apply — Security (mandatory), plus Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, or Privacy based on your services.
Assess current controls against SOC 2 requirements — identify what is in place, what is missing, and what needs to be strengthened.
Design and document the controls needed to satisfy each Trust Service Criterion — access management, change management, monitoring, incident response, vendor management.
Build the evidence collection systems — logging, ticketing, access reviews, and policy attestations — that auditors will sample during the observation period.
Internal pre-audit walkthrough against SOC 2 requirements before the CPA firm begins fieldwork — fixing gaps before they become findings.

SOC 2 (System and Organisation Controls 2) is a US auditing standard developed by the AICPA. It assesses whether an organisation's controls meet the Trust Service Criteria — Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy. SOC 2 reports are issued by licensed US CPA firms and are widely required by US and European enterprise buyers.
SOC 2 Type I assesses whether controls are designed correctly at a single point in time. SOC 2 Type II assesses whether those controls operated effectively over an observation period (typically 6–12 months). US enterprise buyers almost always require Type II because it demonstrates sustained control operation, not just design.
No — SOC 2 reports can only be issued by licensed US CPA (Certified Public Accountant) firms. Indian CA firms and consultancies cannot issue SOC 2 reports. Crewtec prepares your controls, policies, and evidence so that when a licensed US CPA firm conducts the audit, you pass cleanly.
The total timeline is typically 9–14 months. Preparation (gap assessment, control design, implementation) takes 3–4 months. The observation period — during which auditors monitor your controls — runs for a minimum of 6 months. The final audit fieldwork and report issuance takes 4–8 weeks.
ISO 27001 is an international certification with a formal certificate issued by an accredited certification body. SOC 2 is a US attestation report issued by a CPA firm — it is not a certificate but a detailed auditor's report. ISO 27001 is widely recognised in India and globally; SOC 2 is the preferred standard for US enterprise buyers. Companies serving both markets often need both.
Most Indian SaaS companies start with Security (mandatory for all SOC 2 reports) and add Availability (for SaaS with uptime SLAs) and Confidentiality (for companies handling sensitive client data). Processing Integrity is needed for financial or transaction processing platforms. Privacy is added if the application processes personal data for US consumers.
