SOC 2 attestation in Hanoi at a glance
A Hanoi software company winning its first enterprise customer abroad often meets SOC 2 within the week. The buyer's security team sends a questionnaire, then asks for a report. SOC 2 is not a certificate: an independent CPA firm examines your controls against the Trust Services Criteria, security always and availability, confidentiality, processing integrity or privacy as chosen, and issues an attestation report. The city's plan to attract cloud, big data and AI teams, and Hoa Lac's software base, make such requests more common. Sterling serves Hanoi from its Ho Chi Minh City office, prepares your controls and evidence, and leaves the examination to the independent auditor.

SOC 2 in Hanoi: questions clients ask
Why would a Hanoi software firm need a SOC 2 report?
Because overseas enterprise customers, especially in the United States, ask vendors for independent assurance on security and related controls before signing. A report from a licensed auditor answers that request once instead of through many questionnaires. Sterling prepares you; the auditor issues the report.
Is SOC 2 a certificate like ISO 27001?
No. It is an attestation report issued by an independent CPA firm on your controls against the Trust Services Criteria, and it covers a point in time or a period. ISO 27001 is a certificate from an accredited body. Many Hanoi providers choose one first and add the other as clients ask.
