Updated
Reviewed by CyberWave GRC's lead auditor (CISA, CISM, CCISO, HITRUST CCSFP & CHQP, ISO/IEC 27001 & 42001 Lead Auditor)
Comparing SOC 2 consultants in India? This guide looks at five firms side by side: readiness services, who issues the report, the other frameworks each supports, and how to choose the right partner.
How we compared these firms
We looked at what each firm publicly says about:
- The services it offers for this framework (readiness, implementation, audit or assessment)
- Who issues the final certificate, report or assessment
- The other frameworks it supports
- Where it operates, especially India and the USA
- Whether it offers VAPT, and whether it states CERT-In empanelment
- Anything distinctive it publishes, such as pricing, accreditations or specialisms
We don't rank the firms by score. The right choice depends on your scope, industry, budget and the report or certificate your customers ask for.

Where CyberWave GRC fits
We're a good fit if SOC 2 is one of several frameworks you need, or if you sell from India to US customers. One team takes you from readiness to report, and we coordinate the examination with an independent licensed CPA firm on a timeline agreed up front. If you only need a quick, low-cost Type 1 and nothing else, compare published-price options too.
How to choose
- Which licensed CPA firm will issue the report?
- Type 1 or Type 2, and what observation period does your customer expect?
- Which Trust Services Criteria are in scope?
- Is a readiness assessment included before the audit?
- Who prepares the evidence, and which tools are supported (Vanta, Drata, Sprinto and others)?
- Is penetration testing included?
- What does renewal cost in year two?
