In short

SOC 2 attestation in Eindhoven at a glance

A Software & AI company on High Tech Campus Eindhoven, with its first large enterprise customer waiting, will meet a security questionnaire no founder wants to answer from scratch. SOC 2 offers an alternative. An independent audit firm tests the provider's controls against the trust services criteria, always security and optionally availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy, and issues an attestation report that customers can file. Sterling neither audits nor attests; it prepares the policies, controls and evidence so the independent audit goes smoothly. Sterling serves Eindhoven from Enschede, works with your engineers and holds the evidence in Effivity, ready for each question.

Security is designed inControls protect the system against unauthorised access and use; security is the one category every SOC 2 report includes.
Access is granted on need and reviewedLogical and physical access is approved on need, removed when no longer required and reviewed regularly.
Changes and operations are controlledSystem changes are authorised and tested, and operations are monitored so incidents are detected and handled.
Risks and vendors are assessedRisks to your commitments, including those coming from vendors and business partners, are assessed and acted on.

SOC 2 in Eindhoven: questions clients ask

Why do Eindhoven software firms ask about SOC 2?

Because larger customers, especially in North America, ask service providers for an independent report on controls before signing. A SOC 2 report is produced by an independent audit firm after testing the controls over a period. Sterling prepares controls and evidence but does not issue or attest the report.

Can an Eindhoven digital-health firm use SOC 2 alongside ISO 27001?

Yes. The two share most controls, so a provider can map one control set to both frameworks. Hospitals and partners may prefer one or the other, so the report or certificate that customers actually name should drive the sequence. Sterling can plan the common controls once and evidence them for either.
