Third-party assurance enables organizations to assess the information security risk and the potential impact on their business operations

Third-party assurance and reporting provide assurance over the design and/or operating effectiveness of a service organization's internal controls to achieve common business objectives of interest to customers/users of the services.

Green Shift Group provides third-party assurance

Green Shift Group provides third-party assurance as an independent evaluator or verifier as a dedicated third party to provide objective assessments of an organization's controls, processes, or systems.

The purpose of third-party assurance is to provide stakeholders with confidence that the organization is managing its operations effectively, efficiently, and securely.
 

Examples of third-party assurance activities include:

  • Audits

  • Assessments

  • Certifications

  • Attestation engagements


These activities are performed by professional consultants with the in-depth expertise that have the necessary expertise and experience to evaluate the specific area being assessed.


Third-party assurance is often used in the context of information security and privacy, where organizations may need to demonstrate to their customers or regulators that they are taking appropriate measures to protect sensitive data.

Third-party assurance can also be used in other areas, such as:

 

  • Financial reporting 

  • Environmental sustainability

  • Social responsibility.
     

Overall, third-party assurance can help organizations build trust and confidence with their stakeholders, demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and regulations, and improve their overall risk management and governance practices.

The standard is designed to help organizations establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their information security management systems (ISMS).


ISO 27001 is based on a risk management approach, where organizations identify and assess information security risks, and then implement controls and measures to mitigate those risks. The standard covers a range of topics related to information security management, including access control, cryptography, incident management, physical and environmental security, and supplier relationships, among others.
