SOC 2 attestation in Edmonton at a glance
The first SOC 2 request an Edmonton software or health-technology company receives usually comes from a United States or national enterprise whose vendor-review team will not proceed without a report. SOC 2 is an attestation by an independent CPA firm on controls relevant to security, with availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy added by scope, tested against the Trust Services Criteria. Reports are Type 1, at a point in time, or Type 2, over a period. Edmonton Global's picture of top-five global AI research and a large health research base means more products reach enterprise buyers each year. Sterling's Toronto office helps Edmonton teams scope, design controls and gather evidence; the auditor issues the report.
