In a significant achievement for the Indian telecommunications industry, Vodafone Idea (Vi) has become the first Indian company to secure the SOC 2 Type 2 attestation. This significant milestone not only underscores its unwavering commitment to data security but also cements its position as an industry leader in fostering trust and transparency.

The attestation was conducted by VISTA InfoSec, a global Information Security Consulting firm with offices based in the US, UK, Singapore, and India specializing in GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and other types of security compliance standards.

It must be noted that Vi first received its SOC2 Type 1 attestation in 2022, which was also done by VISTA InfoSec to ensure Vi’s services are fully secure and compliant. And now with the SOC2 Type II Attestation, it has fortified its cybersecurity infrastructure and ensured the highest standards of data protection for its customers.

Speaking on the success, Mathan Kasilingam, CTSO, Vi, expressed pride in the company's accomplishment, stating, “Our customers trust us with their most sensitive and confidential data. This attestation reaffirms that our security measures meet best-in-class standards, thereby providing our customers with added confidence that their data is in safe hands.”

Narendra Sahoo, Founder & Director of VISTA InfoSec, further added, “SOC 2 compliance reflects our ongoing dedication to evolving our security practices alongside the ever-changing threat landscape. The support and commitment provided by the Vi team was remarkable and commendable.”

Vi’s achievement carries profound implications for the telecommunications industry in India. In an era marked by increasing data breaches and privacy concerns, SOC 2 Type 2 attestation emerges as a crucial differentiator for companies striving to earn and maintain the trust of their customers.
