FAQ
What is the difference between ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3402?
ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3402 are both assurance reports used to assess whether internal controls and procedures meet specific standards or requirements. However, the two reports differ in their purpose and scope.
ISAE 3000 is related to companies' work with data protection. To obtain an ISAE 3000 report, an external auditor must review the company’s procedures and controls related to the storage and processing of personal data. The purpose of ISAE 3000 is to demonstrate that companies are complying with the requirements of GDPR.
On the other hand, ISAE 3402 focuses on an organization’s IT environment. Under ISAE 3402, an external auditor reviews the IT controls in place and assesses whether they operate effectively. The result is a formal report that serves as official evidence that the organization meets IT security requirements and demonstrates good IT practices.
How can companies use ISAE 3000 as part of their privacy work?
ISAE 3000 can be used to establish internal controls related to data processing and provide an overview of personal data handling. When companies work with an ISAE 3000 report, it ensures that GDPR efforts are carried out in a structured and effective manner. This gives management a solid foundation for decision-making, while employees receive clear guidelines to follow.
Why should I invest in a GRC platform?
ISAE 3000 is particularly aligned with RISMA’s GDPR solution, which enables you to document and track all relevant privacy controls in one place. Together, they help map personal data, monitor compliance with data processing agreements, identify risks, and ensure that necessary procedures and policies are properly implemented.
By combining ISAE 3000 with RISMA’s GDPR solution, you can work more systematically and efficiently with data protection, streamline auditing, and provide a comprehensive overview for management looking to ensure compliance and strengthen trust in the company’s data processing practices.
