SOC 2 attestation in Quezon City at a glance
A start-up from the UP Diliman area wins a pilot with a bank, then the bank's vendor-risk team sends a questionnaire. SOC 2 is the document that usually ends the back-and-forth. A licensed CPA firm examines a service organisation's controls against the AICPA trust services criteria, always security and optionally availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy, and issues a Type 1 report on design or a Type 2 report that also tests operation over a period. Software, SaaS and managed-service firms in Quezon City's proclaimed IT parks, and the spin-offs around the university, are its natural users. It is an attestation, not a certificate. Sterling, served from its Manila office, runs a readiness assessment and prepares evidence.

SOC 2 in Quezon City: questions clients ask
When does a Quezon City software firm need SOC 2?
When a customer's vendor-risk team asks for it, often at onboarding. A SOC 2 report is a licensed CPA firm's examination of controls against the AICPA trust services criteria, always including security. It is an attestation, not a certificate, and the customer decides whether to accept it. Many US buyers ask for it first.
Can a start-up near UP Diliman get a SOC 2 report quickly?
Speed depends on how many controls and records already exist. Start-ups usually need to formalise policies, access control, change management and monitoring first, and a Type 2 report needs a period of operating evidence. A readiness assessment shows the distance. Sterling prepares the evidence; the CPA firm decides the opinion.
