SOC 2 attestation in Shah Alam at a glance
Overseas clients of Selangor service providers have a favourite request: send us your SOC 2 report. Invest Selangor names data centres and global business services as focus areas of its digital cluster, and both serve customers who need independent assurance. SOC 2 is not a certificate but an attestation. An independent licensed practitioner examines controls against the trust services criteria, covering security with availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy where relevant, and reports an opinion. Sterling serves Shah Alam from its Kuala Lumpur office and prepares the organisation through scoping, control design and evidence; the practitioner alone gives the opinion.

SOC 2 in Shah Alam: questions clients ask
Why do overseas clients ask Selangor outsourcers for SOC 2?
Many overseas companies, particularly in North America, use SOC 2 reports to review vendors. The report is an independent practitioner's opinion on controls against the trust services criteria, so it is quicker for them to assess than a bespoke questionnaire. Ask the client which report type it expects.
Can Sterling issue a SOC 2 report to a Selangor provider?
No. A SOC 2 report is issued by an independent licensed practitioner after examining controls. Sterling helps the provider prepare through scoping, control design, evidence and readiness, but the practitioner forms the opinion. Type 1 covers design at a point in time, and Type 2 covers operation over a period.
