SOC 2 attestation in Nuremberg at a glance
Local trust is easy in Nuremberg, where DATEV and a long list of software houses are known names. International trust needs a report the buyer recognises, and for customers with US reporting lines that usually means SOC 2. The report is an attestation, not a certificate. An independent CPA firm tests your controls against the trust services criteria, covering their design at a point in time (Type 1) or their operation across a review period (Type 2). Served from Sterling's Frankfurt office, Sterling prepares the controls, evidence and auditor requests, tracked in Effivity, and takes no part in the examination. Some customers accept ISO 27001 instead, so ask which report ends their review. Local regulation is on the Germany page.

SOC 2 in Nuremberg: questions clients ask
When does a Nuremberg software firm need SOC 2 instead of ISO 27001?
When a customer with US or global reporting lines asks for it by name. German customers frequently accept ISO 27001 instead. Ask your two or three largest prospects which they require, then decide the sequence of the two projects. Many providers eventually hold both.
What is the difference between a SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 report?
Type 1 reports on whether controls are suitably designed at a point in time, while Type 2 also tests that they operated effectively over a review period. Buyers usually prefer Type 2. Many first-time companies begin with Type 1 and move to Type 2 afterwards.
