Press release: Risklane announces strategic partnership with TÜV Nederland

Internal control, security and sustainability is of paramount importance to many organizations, whereby internal processes are often independently tested based on ISO audits. In addition, to assess outsourced processes, so-called ISAE 3402 or SOC 2 assurance statements are used.

 

Based on our combined knowledge in the field of risk management, information security, quality control and compliance, we are experts in the field of implementing and auditing standards for assurance or internal management systems. Our partnership enables us to work together closely and further improve transparency in the market and provide innovative solutions to our clients. Through this collaboration, customers are assured that the implementation and audit are seamlessly aligned, which implies that TÜV Nederland audit expectations are well embedded in the management system.

 

The importance of certification and assurance

The importance of assurance regarding outsourced processes (e.g. ISAE 3402, SOC 2) or internal management systems (e.g. ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001) has increased rapidly in recent years. Where this assurance is often requested by customers in particular, organizations also use this to improve their internal control framework. In some cases, organizations have an obligation to report to supervisory authorities. By means of the implementation of specific compliance standards, organization are able to meet the expectations of these supervisory authorities.

 

A service organization audit examination performed in accordance with ISO, ISAE or SOC is widely recognized, because it represents an in-depth audit of a service organization’s management system and control activities, which generally include controls over internal control and related management and operational processes. The chosen criteria are implemented within the organization and outlined in the standard, whereafter the management system is audited.

 

Complying with a standard also implies that the commitment is provided by the organization to continuously improve the implemented internal control system. This provides customers, supervisory authorities and employees the confidence that processes are adequately implemented and adhered to.
