Challenge
NTT agreed to deliver an ISAE 3402 Type II statement for services specifically delivered to one of her strategic clients. NTT was looking for a partner they could trust to deliver a high-quality consulting assignment to enable NTT to meet its requirements. After preliminary meetings, NTT felt confidant Risklane understood the NTT culture and had the resources to help them deliver. Risklane helped NTT prepare for this SOC assessment. Risklane’s team worked decisively and quickly gained insight into the control landscape of a complex supply chain in a large organization. Nothing short than impressive.
Solution
Together, NTT and Risklane prepared an internal control framework that shows how NTT meets all ISAE 3402 requirements and market/client expectations. The ISAE 3402 control framework shows NTT’s strategic clients how processes and controls are defined and managed.
Results
Eventually, NTT gained insight and practical advice on what it takes to ensure a smooth formal SOC assessment resulting in planning for formal audits. All the controls for internal control are prepared by NTT and Risklane.
