SOC 2 attestation in Ho Chi Minh City at a glance
Many overseas customers ask a Ho Chi Minh City software vendor for a SOC 2 report rather than a certificate. Quang Trung Software City's 124 ICT companies, reported in 2026, include developers, outsourcers and a data-centre operator that sell services across borders. SOC 2 is an attestation, not a certification: an independent CPA firm examines the controls against the Trust Services Criteria and issues a report, either at a point in time or over an observation period. Sterling's Ho Chi Minh City office prepares you through scoping, control design and evidence collection in Effivity, then your chosen CPA firm performs the examination. Sterling does not attest or validate.
