ISAE 3402
Work systematically towards the audit and ISAE 3402 report
Take a targeted approach to documentation, controls, and business processes that meet audit requirements. This provides a solid foundation for an ISAE 3402 statement and strengthens trust in your IT operations and maintenance as a service provider.
From documentation chaos to an audit-ready ISAE 3402 approach
An ISAE 3402 audit requires thorough documentation, a clear control environment, and consistent processes. Yet many organizations struggle with manual workflows and scattered documentation, making transparency difficult and increasing the risk of errors in the ISAE 3402 effort.
With RISMA’s ISAE 3402 solution, you can centralize your work and get a clear overview of the requirements leading up to the audit. Clear task allocation and ongoing follow-up in one place make it easier to document your efforts, save time, and be well-prepared when the auditor arrives.

Efficient management of the audit process
Stay on top of your ISAE 3402 work with clear guidance, full visibility, and traceability—so you always know what comes next. Automated gap analyses help you pinpoint where your current efforts fall short of audit requirements, making it easy to take action and close the gaps.
Assign tasks and track progress
Gather input and documentation from the right people using smart questionnaires, and keep everything on track with automatic reminders and real-time status updates. Easily see who’s responsible for what, and make sure tasks are completed on time and to a high standard.


Synergies across GRC frameworks
Reuse and link controls across ISAE 3402, ISAE 3000, and ISO 27001. Manage everything in one place and align your compliance efforts across frameworks—without compromising the specific requirements of each.
