ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDP Technology Readiness
The technical work an auditor or consultant will check as part of an ISO 27001, SOC 2 or DPDP effort — access control, encryption, logging and evidence. GullySystem does this technology side alongside your existing auditor or consultant.
What Technology Readiness Covers
Certification and legal compliance are handled by an accredited certification body, an independent auditor, or your own legal counsel, never by the vendor doing the technical work. What GullySystem does is the underlying technology practice such an effort depends on: access control, encryption, logging, secure development practice, and the evidence an auditor or regulator will expect you to produce.
Where Readiness Efforts Usually Stall
- A consultant hands over a checklist of controls, and nobody on the technical side knows how to actually demonstrate half of them
- Evidence of access reviews and testing has never been documented, because none of that work has actually been run before
- A partner or customer is asking for a certificate the business does not hold and cannot obtain quickly
- Technical controls exist but were never written down in a form an auditor can actually assess
How the Three Standards Differ
ISO 27001
A broad information security management framework covering policies, risk assessment and controls across the whole organisation, not only technology.
SOC 2
Evidence against defined trust service criteria, often requested by enterprise or overseas customers evaluating a vendor before onboarding.
DPDP
India's data protection law, covering consent, data-principal rights and breach notification, which is a legal obligation rather than a certificate anyone issues.
How We Work Alongside Your Auditor
We do not replace your certification body, auditor or legal counsel, and we do not issue certificates ourselves. We implement and document the technical controls they specify, and prepare the evidence they will review, working from whatever checklist or control list your consultant has already given you.
Who This Applies To
- Businesses that already have an auditor or consultant engaged and need the technical implementation done
- Companies being asked for a specific certificate by an enterprise customer or partner
- Teams that need DPDP-related technical practice in place regardless of whether a certificate is ever pursued
Frequently asked questions
Will you issue our certificate once the work is done?
No. Certificates and audit opinions come from an accredited certification body or an independent auditor, and DPDP compliance is a legal obligation rather than something anyone certifies. We prepare the technology and the evidence; the certification decision sits with the accredited party.
Do we need to already have an auditor or consultant engaged?
It helps, since it means the specific controls and evidence expected are already defined. If you do not yet have one, we can still start on the general technology practice — access control, encryption, logging — that any of the three efforts will eventually need.
What drives the cost of readiness work?
How far your current technical practice already is from what the target standard expects, and how many systems and controls are in scope. A business with strong existing access control and logging has less distance to close than one starting from an informal setup.
What determines how long readiness work takes?
Your current technical maturity, and the pace set by your auditor or consultant's own review schedule, which this work has to fit around rather than dictate. Readiness work paced against a fixed external audit date is scheduled accordingly during scoping.
Can this work support more than one of the three standards at once?
Yes. Access control, encryption and logging overlap significantly across ISO 27001, SOC 2 and DPDP, so technical work done for one often covers a meaningful part of another, even though the certification or compliance process for each stays separate.
Who owns the evidence and documentation produced?
You do. All documentation, evidence and control implementations belong to your business and are handed over in a form your auditor, consultant or legal counsel can review directly.
What do you need from us before starting this work?
The control list or checklist from your auditor or consultant if one exists, access to the systems that need evidence gathered, and a named contact on your side who can confirm current practice where it is not yet documented.
