Build a SOC 2-ready control environment that satisfies enterprise SaaS buyer due diligence. Codesecure runs the full programme: scoping, Trust Service Criteria mapping, control implementation, evidence collection and CPA-led audit accompaniment for Type I and Type II reports.
SOC 2 is a US attestation framework developed by AICPA for service organisations. It evaluates the design (Type I) or design plus operating effectiveness over time (Type II) of controls against the Trust Services Criteria: Security (mandatory) plus optional Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and Privacy. SOC 2 reports are issued by independent CPA firms.
Codesecure delivers SOC 2 as a managed programme: scope and TSC selection, gap analysis, control implementation, evidence collection workflows, internal pre-audit, and end-to-end CPA audit accompaniment. We work with reputable Big-4 and mid-tier CPA firms with India presence to maximise audit efficiency.
SOC 2 is the de-facto SaaS sales prerequisite for US and global enterprise buyers. Procurement teams ask for a SOC 2 Type II report as part of vendor onboarding, and without one many deals stall in legal. Indian SaaS companies selling cross-border treat SOC 2 as a revenue-enabling investment, not a cost.
Beyond sales, SOC 2 forces operational rigour: documented controls, ticketed change management, structured access reviews, vendor risk programmes, incident response evidence, encryption everywhere PII or customer data sits. A successful SOC 2 Type II programme typically improves internal security posture, audit-readiness and even uptime, not just sales pipeline.
Codesecure's SOC 2 programme covers the entire attestation lifecycle:
SOC 2 consulting fees vary by TSC scope, service complexity and Type I vs Type II. CPA audit firm fees are separate and quoted by the CPA directly.

30-minute call with our SOC 2 lead. Discuss your scope, TSC selection and target audit date with no sales pressure.
Schedule Free CallMost growth-stage SaaS companies start with Type I to satisfy initial buyer asks and validate control design, then run Type II in year 2 once 6 months of evidence is available. Mature companies with strong existing operations can skip directly to Type II. We help you pick based on buyer pressure, current control maturity and budget.
Codesecure consulting fees are typically INR 2L-3L for early-stage Type I (single product, Security only), INR 3L-5L for SMB Type I with multi-TSC scope, and INR 4L-7L+ for Type II including the observation-period support. CPA audit firm fees are separate and typically INR 4L-10L+ depending on the firm and scope. Big-4 firms cost more than mid-tier; both produce valid reports.
Security is mandatory. Add Availability if your buyers care about uptime SLAs (most SaaS). Add Confidentiality if you handle customer-confidential data beyond personal information. Add Processing Integrity for fintech, payments and transaction-processing systems. Add Privacy if you collect or process personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for service delivery. We help you pick the smallest TSC scope that satisfies your buyer asks.
Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-fee scoped proposal in 24-48 hours under NDA, and start scoping the same day or next business day after sign-off.
No, and that is required by AICPA independence rules. We are the implementation partner. The CPA firm conducting your audit must be independent from your implementation consultant. We recommend appropriate CPAs based on your scope and budget (Big-4 or India-present mid-tier) and handle introductions, the audit contract is between you and the CPA directly.
Yes, with mapping. SOC 2 Common Criteria CC6 (logical access), CC7 (system monitoring), CC8 (change management) overlap heavily with ISO 27001 Annex A and HIPAA Security Rule technical safeguards. Many of our SaaS clients run combined SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + HIPAA programmes to satisfy US, EU and healthcare buyer requirements together.
SOC 2 reports cover a specific period (Type I = a point in time; Type II = 6-12 months of operation). Buyers expect a fresh report at least annually. Most SaaS companies run continuous SOC 2 Type II programmes with annual report issuance to satisfy ongoing buyer due diligence.
