      Independent assurance that your controls meet industry and regulatory expectations

      An attestation from KPMG provides formal reporting that validates the effectiveness of your control environment. Whether for financial reporting (ISAE 3402 / SOC1), information security protocols (SOC 2), or broader regulatory and governance topics (ISAE 3000), the report gives stakeholders confidence in your operations. Each report combines insights from both your organization and our independent audit.

      Key Benefits

      • Strengthened trust among customers and partners

        Attestations confirm that your organization meets recognized standards, enhancing trust with customers, partners, and other stakeholders in your service ecosystem.

      • Simplified audit processes and reduced duplication

        A single attestation report can satisfy the needs of multiple customers' auditors, helping service organizations avoid repeated audits and questionnaires. This streamlines compliance efforts and minimizes disruption to operations.

      • Competitive advantage

        Attestation reports signal operational maturity setting your business apart in industries where security, data integrity, and compliance are critical.

      • Improved internal control and efficiency

        The attestation process provides insight into internal control mechanisms, which can identify areas for improvement and contribute to better operations and efficiency.

      • Strengthened brand and reputation

        Referencing an independent attestation from a recognized audit firm such as KPMG enhances your credibility—reinforcing brand trust in sales, PR, and partner relationships.

      We can assist you with:

      ISAE 3402 (equivalent to SOC 1) is designed for service organizations whose services impact their clients’ financial reporting.

      These reports provide assurance to user auditors and stakeholders that internal controls over financially relevant processes are effectively designed and operating.

      They’re especially relevant for outsourcing providers in payroll, finance, application management, accounting, and similar services.

      SOC 2 reports focus on non-financial controls, particularly those related to technology, data, and service delivery.

      Aligned with the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, they help service organizations demonstrate how they securely manage customer data.

      In Norway, SOC 2 reports are typically issued under the ISAE 3000 standard. SOC 2 is highly relevant for SaaS providers, cloud platforms, and IT service firms.

      ISAE 3000 enables independent assurance over a broad range of non-financial areas, such as ESG reporting, regulatory compliance, and internal governance.

      It is well-suited for providing assurance over compliance with regulations like GDPR and DORA, offering a flexible reporting approach tailored to meet specific business needs and stakeholder expectations.

      Attestation is a Journey – We're Here to Support You Every Step of the Way

      Whether you're just starting out or gearing up for your next attestation, we offer guidance and expertise across all steps of the journey. 

      Please note: It's not always necessary to complete every step – our approach is flexible and tailored to your organization's specific needs and readiness.

      We start by understanding the needs of your stakeholders and aligning those with your internal controls. Through targeted workshops, we help you prepare for the attestation journey. Workshops can be arranged at any point of your journey based on your individual needs.
      In this phase, we assess your existing control environment and framework to identify potential gaps or areas for improvement. We’ll assist with documentation requirements to ensure you’re fully prepared for a formal attestation audit – enabling a smooth and efficient process. 
      A Type 1 report evaluates the design and implementation of controls at a specific point in time. It provides a snapshot of whether your controls are suitably designed to meet their intended objectives. Please note, this assessment does not cover the operating effectiveness of controls over a period.
      A Type 2 report evaluates both the design and operating effectiveness of your controls over a defined period – typically 6 to 12 months. This comprehensive assessment verifies that your controls not only meet design expectations but are consistently operating to achieve their intended outcomes.
