SSAE 18 / SOC Audits (Earlier known as SSAE 16 Audits)


With the growth of off shoring to India, there has been a tremendous increase in the Business Processing Operations done in India. With a majority of the Parent Companies being US based companies; the concept of audit under SSAE 18 (as per AICPA standards) has assumed great importance. 


Further with the introduction of Software as a Service, (SAAS), Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS), Platform as a Service (PAAS), there is a huge requirement to ensure that these service offerings are SOC certified to have a global reach. 


Being SOC certified adds a lot of value and trust that the Software or the Service being offered meets the Industry Standards. It also provides the much needed comfort your client (the people to whom the audited entity is providing these services) that the Service or Platform is of high standards and that the Data Privacy is ensured. 


We offer SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 services (both Type 1 and Type 2). We also offer services of making you SOC compliant ie where we prepare you for the audit by reviewing your policies, procedures, pre-audit requirements etc in case you are being audited by an external entity.
