BIÑAN CITY, LAGUNA, PHILIPPINES — GQS Philippines, a cybersecurity compliance and advisory firm, has been formally engaged by Flow Data Center in Biñan City, Laguna, to conduct SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS v4.0 assessment and attestation.
SOC 2 attestation will be delivered by a US AICPA-approved Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firm, while PCI DSS assessment will be performed by PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC)-approved Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs).
The engagement includes readiness assessment, gap analysis, and remediation activities across both frameworks. The SOC 2 scope aligns with the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, and Confidentiality, culminating in a SOC 2 Type II report. The PCI DSS scope addresses all relevant v4.0 requirements for cardholder data environments, leading to the issuance of a Report on Compliance (ROC) and an Attestation of Compliance (AOC) recognized by Visa, Mastercard, and JCB.
Flow Data Center’s facility in Biñan City is strategically located within the Calabarzon economic corridor, an emerging center for technology infrastructure in the Philippines. This dual-compliance initiative enables the facility to effectively support multinational companies, financial institutions, and BPO organizations that require globally recognized security certifications for co-location and managed hosting services.
