Ensuring Information Security and quality for service providers and data processors
We have extensive experience in issuing independent auditor’s assurance reports for service providers and data processors to meet these needs. We possess deep professional expertise across all technical platforms and security standards, along with comprehensive industry knowledge of both the private and public sectors, including municipalities, regions, other entities, and educational institutions.
A report prepared by BDO focuses on the level of information security, and during the audit process, we will communicate any observations and provide recommendations for how the level of information security may be enhanced or made more efficient.
We issue the assurance report in accordance with one of the international standards for assurance engagements, depending on the matters it is intended to cover. The purpose and scope of the report are determined in accordance with the agreed information security terms in the client contract or in line with applicable legal requirements.
Information security standards – such as ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 – often form the basis for managing information security. These are translated into policies with associated control objectives and control activities, which serve as the foundation for the assurance report.
In addition to documenting information security to existing clients, an independent auditor’s report sends a clear signal about the service provider’s or data processor’s quality and professional approach to information security. In this way, the report becomes a natural sales parameter and can play a significant role in contract negotiations and client agreements.
