At SurkshaNow Partners, we help fast-growing cloud organizations accelerate enterprise trust. Powered by Precision Assurance CPA LLC (an actively licensed U.S. CPA Firm) and delivered by ex-Big Four attestation experts, we provide complete, frictionless SOC 2 readiness, testing, and official report issuance under a single, unified workflow.
Many security agencies offer SOC 2 preparation but are legally barred from signing the final report. SurkshaNow eliminates third-party markups, scheduling delays, and communication gaps by providing direct, licensed CPA signing authority.
Your audit is executed and officially signed off directly by our registered corporate accounting entity, Precision Assurance CPA LLC.
Gain the quality, rigor, and thoroughness of a tier-one firm paired with the speed and flexibility of an agile compliance partner.
We specialize in modern, complex service organizations. We natively audit across cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and automated infrastructure layers.
We help you maximize engineering efficiency by cross-mapping your SOC 2 data to accelerate ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FedRAMP pipelines.
No surprise billing or hidden processing extensions. Once scoping boundaries are clearly defined, we provide a definitive, written fixed-fee quote.
Our structured auditing methodology mirrors the highest quality standards of global consulting practices, operating at the exact cadence of your engineering cycles.
We isolate the infrastructure components, personnel workflows, and external subservice organizations relevant to your target Trust Services Criteria (TSC). We precisely define your system boundaries, service lines, and corporate perimeters.
We evaluate the design of your internal safeguards across the selected TSC themes. We identify process vulnerabilities, configuration gaps, and operational risks affecting your service organization.
We perform a detailed pre-audit gap analysis to map existing policies and identify missing evidence trails before formal fieldwork starts. We design a precise remediation roadmap to strengthen your control effectiveness without disrupting daily operations.
Our licensed CPA auditing team performs deep-dive testing for design and operating effectiveness. This includes system walkthroughs, document reviews, and technical process inspections for accuracy, reliability, and TSC compliance.
We compile your comprehensive final report—including the system description, management assertions, and test details—affixing our official CPA firm attestation signature to instantly clear your clients' vendor security reviews.
Enterprise procurement teams require different levels of assurance based on the maturity of the vendor relationship. Select the framework that fits your commercial timeline:
|
Dimension |
SOC 2 Type I |
SOC 2 Type II |
|
Operational Focus |
Assesses the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time (snapshot). |
Assesses both design and operating effectiveness over a continuous observation window. |
|
Typical Observation Period |
Single "As-Of" execution date. |
Typically a sustained 6 to 12-month period of continuous operational evidence. |
|
Enterprise Buyer View |
Perfect as an initial compliance milestone to clear immediate pipeline bottlenecks. |
Expected for mature vendor due diligence and long-term enterprise contract renewals. |
Evaluating organizational frameworks to ensure structural integrity and compliance.
While both frameworks build massive corporate credibility, they serve distinct strategic purposes:
Note: Many leading SaaS organizations choose to pursue both. ISO 27001 serves as your international programmatic blueprint, while SOC 2 provides the granular, customer-facing operational verification that enterprise security teams demand.
SOC 2 is an AICPA attestation report evaluating whether a service provider's operational controls satisfy the Trust Services Criteria. SaaS platforms, B2B cloud vendors, healthcare tech firms, and fintech providers require a SOC 2 report because enterprise buyers mandate it during routine vendor security risk assessments.
A Type I report verifies the design of your security system at a single specific date. A Type II report evaluates whether those controls operated consistently and effectively throughout a historical evaluation window (typically 6 to 12 months), proving your team actively maintains its security commitments.
A Type I report can generally be completed within four to eight weeks once your policies and evidence logs are fully prepared. A Type II report requires the completion of your designated historical observation period (minimum 3 months, standard 6 to 12 months) followed by fieldwork analysis and report packaging.
Fees depend on the size of your environment, system architecture complexity, subservice dependencies, and the number of optional Trust Services Criteria included in your scope. SurkshaNow provides transparent, fixed-fee engagement options once system boundaries are mapped out during discovery.
A readiness assessment is a structured, preliminary gap analysis against the TSC. We map out your existing controls, isolate missing tracking configurations or policies, and build a remediation roadmap before your official audit window begins—minimizing timeline risks and preventing costly audit exceptions.
The TSC are the control benchmarks established by the AICPA to evaluate systems. The Security category (known as the Common Criteria) is completely mandatory for every audit. Availability, Confidentiality, Processing Integrity, and Privacy are optional dimensions layered on based on your customer SLAs and product features.
Yes, absolutely. SOC 2 reports frequently cover infrastructure deployed on hyperscalers like AWS, Azure, or GCP. We leverage a "carve-out" method to document these subservice dependencies while evaluating your internal Complementary User Entity Controls (CUECs) to ensure safe integration.
To maintain uninterrupted credibility with enterprise buyers, your SOC 2 Type II report must be updated once every calendar year. Letting more than a few months lapse between observation windows creates a coverage gap that vendor risk assessment software will flag and reject.
No. SOC 2 is a specialized AICPA attestation report; ISO 27001 is a globally certifiable program management standard, and PCI DSS is a rigid framework restricted to cardholder data environments. Enterprise vendors frequently maintain multiple frameworks depending on their market verticals and regulatory footprints.
You receive an official, comprehensive SOC 2 Type I or Type II attestation report containing the auditor's formal opinion, management's system description, and detailed test result matrices. Because it contains sensitive details about your internal infrastructure controls, distribution is restricted and typically shared with prospects under an NDA.
