Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) and Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services?
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) services focus on establishing organizational frameworks, managing risks, and ensuring regulatory compliance through assessments, audits, and certifications. Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services involve technical evaluation, validation, and independent verification of products, systems, and processes. Glocert International provides comprehensive GRC and TIC services, combining governance frameworks with technical testing and certification to deliver holistic assurance solutions that build trust and enable business growth.
Do I need both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications for my organization?
Many organizations benefit from both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, though they serve different purposes. SOC 2 demonstrates security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls to customers and prospects, typically shared under NDA. ISO 27001 provides a comprehensive information security management system (ISMS) framework that establishes governance, risk management, and continuous improvement processes. While SOC 2 focuses on service organization controls, ISO 27001 provides a broader governance framework. Many organizations pursue both to meet different stakeholder requirements, with ISO 27001 strengthening SOC 2 controls and SOC 2 evidence supporting ISO 27001 certification.
How long does it take to achieve ISO 27001 certification or complete a SOC 2 examination?
Certification and examination timelines vary based on the standard, organization size, complexity, and current maturity level. For organizations with mature controls, ISO 27001 certification typically takes 2-4 months from initial assessment to certification. SOC 2 Type I examinations can be completed in 2-3 months, while SOC 2 Type II examinations require a 6-12 month reporting period to demonstrate controls operating effectively over time. Glocert International works with organizations to develop realistic timelines, assess current maturity, and implement efficient processes that minimize disruption while ensuring thorough governance, risk management, and compliance assessments.
Can Glocert help with multiple certifications simultaneously, such as ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2?
Absolutely. Many organizations pursue multiple certifications simultaneously to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and leverage shared evidence. Common combinations include SOC 2 with ISO 27001, ISO 27001 with ISO 27701 (privacy management), and integrated management systems combining quality (ISO 9001), security (ISO 27001), and environmental (ISO 14001) standards. Glocert International's governance, risk, and compliance experts coordinate multiple assessments to leverage shared controls, unified governance frameworks, and integrated evidence, reducing duplication and accelerating certification timelines while maintaining thoroughness and compliance rigor.
What is the difference between SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 examinations?
SOC 1 focuses on controls relevant to financial reporting and is used by user entities' auditors for financial statement audits. SOC 2 examines security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls relevant to service organizations and is typically shared with customers and prospects under NDA. SOC 3 is a publicly available summary report of SOC 2 controls, suitable for marketing and public disclosure. Most technology companies pursue SOC 2 Type II for customer assurance, demonstrating governance, risk management, and compliance controls operating effectively over time. Glocert International provides comprehensive SOC examination services aligned with AICPA standards.

Yes, Glocert International is accredited by IAS Inc, USA, a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
