How can tech-based businesses benefit from Aprio’s Information Assurance services?
Having the right assurance reporting to demonstrate that your business has a robust information risk management program is essential to safeguarding business value and achieving profitable growth.
Healthcare IT, FinTech, data resellers and processors, SaaS, tech services must all provide assurance (proof) to clients, prospects, investors and regulating bodies that their risk management programs meet defined industry and regulatory standards for security, resiliency, processing integrity and privacy of data, systems and control processes.
What is the benefit of working with Aprio?
Aprio treats clients as a partner not an auditee. We view compliance, certification and examinations such as SOC 2 reporting, as an opportunity improve the integrity of your operations.
We partner with clients to provide constant feedback and guidance through our engagements to increase the value of your risk management programs while adhering to assurance criteria and reporting protocols.
Is there efficiency to be gained in working with Aprio?
Yes. For companies that require multiple attestations, our pragmatic approach harmonizes audit and compliance protocols to make effective sustainable information risk management and reporting easier to achieve.
For example, we can help companies interested in both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 realize a 65% efficiency by harmonizing the testing and deployment simultaneously.
Can Aprio address new privacy regulations?
Yes, Aprio specializes in GDPR, CCPA, and other frameworks including the latest privacy regulations for personnel or data. Our depth of experience in ISO 27001 and its new privacy extension ISO 27701, can provide a roadmap for “certification.”
While it is not otherwise cited by the regulatory bodies as such (e.g., EU data privacy board, State of California, HHS, etc.), when performed properly, ISO 27701 represents a de facto certification for GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and other privacy regs where companies need a “certification” but where the regulatory body has not otherwise defined a specific report or standard as the official certification.
How can Aprio support my vendors management requirements?
Increasingly, organizations that outsource critical functions are asking for System and Organization Control (SOC) reports to better understand the service provider’s information systems and processes.
Whether you are a service provider or business that relies on third party vendors, Aprio can clarify your SOC reporting options and help you select the structure that best supports your risk management reporting needs. Aprio has deep expertise providing testing and reporting for:- SOC 1
