SOC 2 Certification for ERP Providers
— Type I in 2 Months, Type II in 4

SOC 2 is an AICPA attestation in which a licensed CPA firm examines your controls against the five Trust Services Criteria. For ERP Providers, MSPs and cloud providers it is the universally accepted proof that customer data is handled securely — and is the default qualifying filter in most North American enterprise vendor reviews.

Type I attests that your controls are suitably designed at a single point in time. Type II attests that those controls operated effectively across an observation window of about 4 months. Most enterprise buyers ultimately require Type II, so we get you Type I in about 2 months then support the observation period.

Most ERP Providers companies reach Type I in about 2 months with our fixed-fee model, then Type II in about 4 months after the observation window. Larger multi-product ERP Providers groups running ISO 27001 in parallel may take a little longer.

Security (the Common Criteria) is mandatory. Most ERP Providers platforms add Availability and Confidentiality; Processing Integrity and Privacy are scoped in for payments, analytics and PII-heavy products. We help you scope the right criteria to match buyer demand without over-auditing.

A SOC 2 report covers a defined period and is generally refreshed every 12 months. Buyers typically expect a report no older than a year, so ERP Providers companies run a rolling annual Type II. We support the full lifecycle, including bridge letters between report dates.

Yes — and most ERP Providers clients do. SOC 2 controls overlap heavily with ISO 27001 Annex A and HIPAA safeguards. Running them together reuses up to 80% of the same evidence and saves around 40% versus sequential audits.

B2B ERP Providers platforms, MSPs and MSSPs, cloud service providers, software engineering firms, IT consulting and staffing groups, and data/AI platforms selling into US enterprise, healthcare or finance — where a SOC 2 report is a routine prerequisite to close.

Yes. Every ISpectra engagement includes a complimentary Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Test. We run VAPT once the TSC technical controls are in place, so effectiveness is validated — and findings fixed — before the CPA examination.

A licensed independent CPA firm issues the SOC 2 attestation report — not ISpectra. We prepare your environment, run the internal audit and coordinate the CPA examination end-to-end, so your team stays focused on shipping product.

ISpectra handles the heavy lifting — readiness and risk assessment, 30+ policies, control rollout, free VAPT, internal audit, management review and CPA coordination. Your team provides inputs, approves deliverables and runs day-to-day operations — typically under 10% of one FTE through the sprint.
