Evidence on file
Each line is a datapoint with its grade. Grades are the ones the anchors act on: a sub-criterion scored 5 requires at least one E1 or E2 source, and evidence that is entirely E3 caps the sub-criterion at 3.
12 claims on this sheet, by grade: E1 6 E2 6 E3 4 Counts sum above 12 because 4 claims cite more than one grade.
- 57,242 employees at 31 Mar 2026 per the subsidiary’s own statutory annual report — down from 57,571 a year earlier, and 3,288 below the 60,530 claimed on its own website at the same date. Wikipedia carries a third and higher series again. The filing figure is used for scoring and the conflict is unreconciled in public sources Infosys BPM Limited Annual Report 2025-26 E1E3
- 42 delivery centres across 14 countries and five continents at 31 Mar 2026 — 11 India, 6 APAC, 16 Europe, 9 Americas. The 40-centre, 13-country figure that appears elsewhere is the superseded FY2024-25 report, not a live conflict Infosys BPM Limited Annual Report 2025-26 E1E2
- States recertification in five ISO standards (27001, 27701, 22301, 9001, 45001) and an enterprise SOC 1 (SSAE18) audit performed by KPMG covering 44 delivery locations, non-qualified for the fifteenth consecutive year. All of it is entity-scoped to the subsidiary — but no certificate numbers, certification bodies or validity dates are published anywhere, and SOC 1 is a financial-controls attestation, not SOC 2 Type II Infosys BPM Limited Annual Report 2025-26 E1
- SCOPING EXCLUSION: every certificate on the Infosys certification register — ISO 27001:2022, ISO 22301, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, SSAE 18/ISAE 3402 SOC Type I and II, CMMI Level 5 — is scoped to "Infosys Limited". Infosys BPM Limited is named in none of them, so the parent’s SOC 2 Type II and certificate identifiers are not credited to the evaluated entity infosys.com certifications register E1
- Infosys McCamish Systems LLC — a direct subsidiary of Infosys BPM Limited per the BPM annual report’s own subsidiary list — suffered a ransomware breach disclosed in November 2023 affecting approximately 6.5 million individuals, settled for $17.5 million in March 2025, with Bank of America and Fidelity Investments notifying customers.

The CXM-specific coverage names the PARENT — ISG Provider Lens 2023 Customer Experience Services and the Gartner Market Guide for Customer Management BPO 2020 are both listed as "Infosys" — and Infosys BPM does not appear in the Everest CXM PEAK Matrix leader set infosysbpm.com analyst newsroom E1
- Client-review footprint is effectively absent: the G2 profile carries two reviews at 4.0/5, both dated 21 September 2021 and outcome-free; the Clutch profile is "not yet reviewed". Clutch lists provider-supplied fields of $1,000+ minimum project size and $25–49/hr Clutch, checked Aug 2026 E2
- Of 36 published customer-service case studies only three name the client — Sally Beauty, Texas Instruments and Cisco — and none carries a date.

Where this provider stands out
Computed from this provider’s anchor scores against the 29-provider field it is scored in, from the 12 public claims above: the sub-criteria where it sits furthest above the field median, and furthest below. Selection is by distance from the field, not by raw score — a 5 where most of the field scores 5 says nothing. These are scores for what a provider publishes, so a low score can mean a weak record or a quiet one, and this block cannot tell them apart.

- hub & business continuity A4.2 4/5 — 1 below the field median of 5
Criterion scores
Sub-criterion anchor scores in criterion order, with the weighted criterion total computed from them. Multiply each anchor by its sub-criterion weight over five and sum: that is the whole arithmetic, and it is why this total can be checked without taking anyone's word.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Independent client evidence | 3 / 2 / 2 | |||
| A2 | Market presence & tenure | 5 / 5 / 5 | |||
| A3 | Certifications & compliance | 4 / 2 / 2 | |||

Flags and open questions
- Largest remaining evidence gap: no BPM-scoped certificate identifiers and no published agent access-control model
Challenge this sheet
Every line above is meant to be checkable. If a datapoint is wrong, out of date, or missing a certificate identifier we could not find, the corrections process is open: submit the evidence and the score is re-derived through the anchors. Facts are correctable; scores follow facts.
