SOC 2 Attestation in India & UAE End-to-end implementation until your business has an attested audit report. Your team stays focused on the business. We handle everything related to security compliance

SOC 2 Type 1 reflects your security posture at a point in time. Cyber Commandos works through implementation phases - gap assessment, documentation, control implementation, evidence readiness - before the CPA firm conducts the audit. The CPA firm audit timeline depends on their availability and the scope of your engagement.

SOC 2 Type 2 requires a minimum observation period - typically 6–12 months - during which your controls must operate continuously. We start the evidence clock on Day 1 of your engagement, so the observation period runs in parallel with ongoing work rather than starting after readiness is complete.

Every business uses technology differently, so we cannot price a business with 100+ processes and 100+ apps exactly the same as a business with 5 processes and 5 apps. Cyber Commando fees are cost-optimized specifically for your business after an initial scoping call. Please note that two separate fees apply: Cyber Commandos charges (end-to-end implementation & auditor coordination) and the independent third-party CPA firm will provide their own cost estimate.

SOC 2 Type 1 is a point-in-time assessment. The CPA firm confirms that your controls are suitably designed as of the report date. It answers the question: are your controls built correctly right now?

SOC 2 Type 2 covers an observation period - typically 6–12 months. The CPA firm confirms that your controls operated effectively throughout that entire period. Enterprise clients (especially US and EU enterprises) almost universally require Type 2. With Cyber Commandos, the evidence observation period begins on Day 1, so your Type 2 readiness is building from the moment you sign.

Yes, CPA firms can issue a qualified opinion, i.e., a report with exceptions - when required controls are absent, inadequately designed, or did not operate effectively throughout the observation period. A qualified SOC 2 report is often worse than no report, because enterprise procurement teams will reject it or ask for immediate remediation before approving the vendor relationship. Remember,

• 'unqualified opinion' = clean audit
• 'qualified opinion' = auditor found significant control deficiencies
• 'unqualified with exceptions' = middle ground; where the auditor found minor errors but decided that they do not break your entire system

Businesses that use generic documentation templates, or work with advisory firms that don't actually implement controls, routinely receive qualified opinions. With Cyber Commandos, if gaps in our implementation are the reason for a qualified audit result, we fix those gaps at no additional cost.

Not really. This is more for enterprise clients (particularly in the US or EU). SOC 2 Type 2 is the primary security requirement for US enterprise vendor approvals, and increasingly for EU clients as well. For Indian enterprise contracts and GCCs, ISO 27001 is usually the primary requirement, though SOC 2 is increasingly required alongside it for data-sensitive engagements.

The fastest way to know exactly which certifications your specific target clients require is to complete the free gap analysis. It takes 15 minutes and the report maps your current posture to the requirements of your actual target market. Try it yourself

If you fail a SOC 2 or ISO audit due to gaps in our implementation, we fix those gaps at no additional cost. Our 'audit failure guarantee' covers implementation failures - controls we built that did not meet the standard's requirements or did not operate effectively during the observation period.

It does not cover situations where client-controlled processes lapsed after implementation, new requirements were added post-implementation without our involvement, or material information about systems or processes was withheld during the engagement.
