ISAE-3402-Attest

Gia Informatik has successfully passed the ISAE 3402 audit, confirming that its internal control system is running smoothly. The audit was carried out by a state-supervised auditing company.

The International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) is the international auditing standard that assesses the effectiveness of the internal control system (ICS) of service organizations.

The standard was created by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) as the successor to the SAS 70 standard. ISAE 3402 aims to comprehensively test an organization's internal control system and assess its effectiveness in detail.

The audit is performed over a period of six months. The ISAE 3402 audit report contains the opinion of an external audit firm on the control system at the service provider, a description of the control points, the audit method and controls, information on the audit period and a statement on the effectiveness of the controls.
