Attestation Types
SOC 2 Type 1 vs Type 2
Understand the key differences between point-in-time assessment and operating effectiveness validation. Both are attestation reports from a licensed CPA firm. There is no SOC 2 certificate, and our guide explains what “SOC 2 certified” means in practice. Our SOC 2 Type 1 vs Type 2 guide sets the two side by side, with weeks and price.
TYPE 1
Point-in-Time Assessment
Evaluates the design of controls at a specific date. Ideal for startups entering the enterprise market when a deal is waiting and that customer accepts a Type 1. The Type 2 window can open right after the Type 1 date.
- Design of controls at a specific date
- Faster to achieve (audit-ready in 6–8 weeks)
- Lower cost entry point
TYPE 2 — RECOMMENDED
Operating Effectiveness
Tests both design and effectiveness over 3-12 months. Required by most US enterprise buyers.
- Controls tested over 3-12 months
- Preferred by enterprise clients
- Demonstrates sustained compliance

SOC 2 in India — Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers from the team that has delivered 300+ SOC 2 engagements to date.
How much does SOC 2 cost in India?
SOC 2 with TCSA typically costs ₹2–3 Lakh (USD 2,500–5,000) for Type 1 and ₹3–5 Lakh (USD 3,000–10,000) for Type 2, all-in, including the independent CPA attestation. That covers scoping, gap assessment, control implementation, evidence preparation, audit coordination, and the CPA firm’s examination. The final figure is confirmed after a scoping call.
Should we start with SOC 2 Type I or Type II?
Our advice: take Type I first if a deal is waiting and the customer accepts a Type I report, otherwise go straight to Type II. A Type I puts a report in buyers’ hands in 6–8 weeks end to end, and the Type II window can open right after the Type I date. Going straight to Type II takes 14–16 weeks end to end: 2–4 weeks of readiness, then the 12-week minimum observation window. Both are all-in: typically ₹2–3 Lakh (USD 2,500–5,000) for Type I and ₹3–5 Lakh (USD 3,000–10,000) for Type II. We recommend the fastest path for your deal timeline on the first call.
How long does SOC 2 attestation take?
A Type I takes 6–8 weeks end to end, report included. Type II takes 14–16 weeks end to end: 2–4 weeks of readiness, then the 12-week minimum observation window. Timelines assume your team can commit a few hours per week to reviews and evidence requests.
Do you work with our existing CPA or bring one?
Both. If you already have a licensed CPA firm, we prepare your controls and evidence to match their testing approach and manage the auditor relationship for you. If not, we source an independent, US-licensed CPA firm for you, and its fee sits inside our all-in price. We name that firm before you sign with us, together with its licence number, the state board that issued it, and its current AICPA peer review enrolment. The CPA firm forms its own opinion, so the attestation stays fully independent.
What is in scope — how do we choose Trust Services Criteria?
Security (the Common Criteria) is mandatory in every SOC 2 report. We then map Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy to what your customer contracts actually demand — most SaaS companies need Security plus Availability and Confidentiality. Over-scoping inflates both consulting effort and CPA fees, so we keep scope to what buyers ask for.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
Both. Most SOC 2 engagements run fully remote over video calls and shared evidence trackers — it’s how we serve clients across India, USA, UK, Australia and UAE. For teams in Delhi NCR, Gurgaon, Mumbai, or Bangalore, we can add on-site workshops for kick-off and audit week.
Who signs our SOC 2 report?
An independent, US-licensed CPA firm, one of several we work with. When we source the firm, its fee is inside our all-in price, and we pay it. Before you sign with us, we share the firm’s name, its licence number and the state board that issued it, and its current AICPA peer review enrolment, so you can check them yourself.
