SOC reporting mirrors the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) No. 3402. Controls assessed include finance, security, availability, integrity of processing, confidentiality and privacy.
The ISO 45001 international standard is used to develop and certify an organization’s occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system. OH&S systems manage risks and enable continued OH&S performance through implementing effective policies and objectives.
