01 · Scope
Name the buyer ask
We lock the questionnaire themes, systems in boundary, and partner deadline before any fieldwork calendar is set.
Methodology
A calm, inspectable path from partner questionnaire to a shareable assurance pack.
How an assurance engagement unfolds
Built for fintech vendors where bank calendars, evidence freshness, and exception language matter as much as the testing itself.
02 · Evidence
Collect with owners
Control owners provide artifacts against a structured request list. We flag gaps early so remediation can start in parallel.
03 · Test
Design and operation
We test whether controls are designed appropriately and, where evidence allows, whether they operated in the period under review.
04 · Attest
Hand off the pack
Memorandum, evidence index, exceptions, and a management readout your relationship managers can circulate without rewriting.
What we need from you
- A primary stakeholder in compliance and one in operations or engineering
- Access to the questionnaire or prior partner findings
- Named control owners for the systems in scope
- Honesty about known gaps—surprises slow diligence more than open exceptions
What we will not do
- Issue an attestation without examining evidence
- Hide material exceptions behind vague marketing language
- Promise timelines that ignore missing access or owner availability
