Seven Step Consulting Pvt. Ltd. is a Delhi NCR-based SOC 1 and SOC 2 consulting firm providing end-to-end compliance and assurance services to organisations across India, USA, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Europe, Africa, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
In today’s digital-first business environment, trust is critical. Customers, regulators, and partners expect organisations to handle sensitive data securely and in compliance with global standards. SOC 1 and SOC 2, issued under the AICPA’s System and Organization Controls (SOC) framework, have become globally recognised benchmarks for demonstrating this assurance.
SOC 1 focuses on controls relevant to financial reporting and is essential for service organisations impacting client financial data. SOC 2 focuses on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, aligning with global data protection and regulatory expectations.
At Seven Step Consulting Pvt. Ltd., we provide practical, result-oriented, and easy-to-implement SOC 1 and SOC 2 consulting solutions. Whether you are pursuing SOC 1 or SOC 2 Type I or Type II, our structured approach ensures audit readiness, timely completion, and effective implementation.
We work with startups, SMEs, and multinational organisations to design, implement, and maintain control frameworks aligned with SOC requirements. Our methodology ensures that compliance is not just a reporting requirement but a strong foundation for governance, risk management, and customer trust.
We offer both onsite and remote consulting services and support organisations from readiness assessment to audit and post-compliance maintenance, ensuring continuous improvement and long-term value.
Our Approach: Expert-Guided SOC 1 / SOC 2 Compliance Implementation
At Seven Step Consulting, we go beyond checklists and templates. Our approach to SOC 1 / SOC 2 readiness assessments and implementations is grounded in real-world experience, risk awareness, and regulatory alignment.
Strengthen your organization’s governance and ethics by aligning SOC controls with the ISO 19600 compliance framework for a holistic approach to regulatory compliance.
Our Methodology Includes:
SOC Readiness Assessment
Our process begins with a detailed SOC 2 readiness assessment to evaluate your current control environment. Using our proprietary SOC 2 compliance checklist, we identify control gaps, technical weaknesses, and documentation needs.
Policy Development & Control Design
We assist in drafting or enhancing information security policies, risk management processes, incident response procedures, and vendor management practices—all mapped against a comprehensive SOC 2 audit checklist.
Pre-Audit Simulation & Evidence Collection
Our SOC 2 self-assessment and pre-audit simulations mirror real audit conditions. We walk you through documentation requirements, testing methods, and controls evidence—guided by a full SOC 2 type 2 audit checklist.
Gap Analysis and Control Mapping
We align your controls with the Trust Services Criteria (TSC) for SOC 2, or with relevant financial controls for SOC 1. This includes referencing an actionable SOC 2 requirements checklist, ensuring coverage of all applicable areas.
Remediation & Implementation Support
We help operationalize controls through training, tooling, system changes, and technical advice—providing a seamless bridge from policy to execution.
