Framework reference
SOC 2 for EU B2B software companies.
SOC 2 is not a regulation, but it is a common enterprise procurement requirement, especially for companies selling into the United States. EU software companies often need SOC 2 alongside ISO 27001 when US customers ask for a familiar assurance report.
