Know what you need. Get it done. Prove it.

Securance is a European assurance, cybersecurity and advisory firm. It issues SOC 1, SOC 2, ISAE 3000 and ISAE 3402 reports, supports ISO 27001, NIS2 and DORA compliance, advises on risk, privacy and information security, and delivers penetration testing and red teaming. The firm has performed more than 1,800 audits over 20 years.

Yes. In Europe, qualified auditors issue SOC 2 reports under the ISAE 3000 standard. These reports cover the same Trust Services Criteria and are accepted by international customers, including US enterprises. Securance issues SOC 2 Type I and Type II reports from its European offices.

ISAE 3402 (aligned with SOC 1) covers controls that affect your clients' financial reporting, such as payroll or fund administration. SOC 2 covers security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy, and fits SaaS and technology providers. Many service organizations need both, which Securance can combine in a single audit.

A Type I report can typically be completed within a few months, depending on the maturity of your controls. A Type II report requires an observation period of at least six months. Securance uses a six phase approach with a pre-audit to prevent surprises and keep timelines predictable.

Strictly speaking, no. SOC 2 and ISAE reports are attestations: an independent auditor's opinion on your controls, not a certificate. Many buyers still say SOC 2 certification, which is why the term appears here, but the deliverable is an assurance report issued by an audit firm such as Securance.

Securance serves SaaS, PaaS and IaaS providers, fintechs, managed service providers, payroll and HR service firms, fund administrators, insurers and finance and investment firms across the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, the Nordics and the United Kingdom.
