IT-Certification (SOC 1, 2, 3, IDW AS 880)
Information technology security certifications play a pivotal role in evaluating and confirming the security, integrity, and efficacy of IT systems and processes. These certifications enhance trust and demonstrate an organization’s implementation of robust controls and security measures. They bolster customer, investor, and stakeholder confidence in IT system integrity and security. Furthermore, independent assessment and certification of IT systems and processes foster transparency, facilitating business relationships as the reliability and security of IT services are positively perceived.
Several certifications hold immense importance, all covered within our service portfolio:
SOC 1 certification focuses on internal control over financial reporting. It assesses a service organization’s ability to implement and maintain controls that could impact client financial reporting. This certification is particularly relevant when service organizations provide financial transaction or processing services that could impact their clients’ financial reporting.
SOC 2 Certification focuses on the security, availability, processing security, confidentiality, and privacy of IT systems and services. It evaluates whether a service organization’s controls meet the protection needs of data and systems. SOC 2 is particularly relevant for service organizations that manage sensitive data such as personal information or confidential corporate data.
SOC 3 is a scaled-down version of SOC 2 and provides a general review and confirmation of a service organization’s security and control measures. The main difference is that SOC 3 targets a broader audience and provides cross-organizational transparency, while SOC 2 provides detailed technical information for specific clients.
IDW AS 880 (Software compliance audit) is a guideline issued by the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany (IDW) that governs the audit of companies regarding internal controls in IT applications. It ensures that companies implement appropriate controls in their IT applications and processes to guarantee reliable financial reporting. This certification is particularly relevant in the German business landscape and underscores compliance with local German law and strict internal control standards.
