Woba.io expects to achieve ISAE 3000 certification by the end of Q1 2025.
What is ISAE 3000?
ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000) is an international auditing standard issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). It is used to provide assurance on non-financial information, including data protection, compliance, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), and risk management processes.
Why is ISAE 3000 Important?
The ISAE 3000 standard is particularly relevant for organizations that handle sensitive data, compliance frameworks, or internal controls that need independent verification. It ensures that a company’s processes meet high ethical and operational standards, providing trust and transparency to customers, partners, and regulators.
Key Aspects of ISAE 3000 Certification:
✅ Independent Assurance – A third-party auditor (such as Grant Thornton) evaluates the company’s processes and controls.
✅ Focus on Non-Financial Data – Unlike ISAE 3402, which focuses on financial reporting, ISAE 3000 applies to data security, GDPR compliance, AI governance, ESG reporting, and risk management.
✅ Compliance with Regulations – Helps businesses demonstrate compliance with GDPR, AI regulations, and data protection laws.
✅ Transparency & Trust – Enhances customer and stakeholder confidence by proving the company follows best practices in data handling and security.
Who Uses ISAE 3000?
•Tech & SaaS companies (like Woba.io) handling personal and employee data.
•AI & data-driven platforms that need to comply with GDPR and AI regulations.
•Financial institutions, healthcare, and legal firms dealing with sensitive information.
•Companies involved in ESG reporting that need to verify sustainability claims.
