SOC 2 attestation in Davao City at a glance
For a Davao software start-up, the first enterprise deal usually brings a vendor-review spreadsheet with a question about SOC 2. Only a CPA firm can supply the answer: it tests the provider's controls against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, security always included, and reports its opinion. Davao teams at Abreeza BPO and similar offices serving US customers hear the same request. Since the report is not a certificate and many controls need months of evidence, early preparation matters. Sterling does not attest; it builds the policies, control environment and Effivity workflows from its Manila office so that the CPA firm's work is focused.

SOC 2 in Davao City: questions clients ask
What does a SOC 2 report mean for a Davao software firm?
It is a CPA firm's opinion on whether the firm's controls meet the Trust Services Criteria, security being mandatory and availability, confidentiality, processing integrity and privacy optional. It reassures enterprise customers during vendor reviews. It is a report, not a certificate, and Sterling does not issue it.
Type 1 or Type 2: which should a Davao start-up begin with?
Many begin with Type 1, which tests control design at a single date, because it can be ready sooner and unlocks early sales conversations. Type 2 follows, covering operation over a period, and is what larger customers usually prefer. The customer's vendor review will say which it accepts.
