FAQ


YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED


WHERE IS ASSURANCELAB BASED?

We are based in Austin, TX, Australia, and Ireland. We have team members
scattered across the globe; covering all timezones and geographies. We work with
clients in over 20 countries, bringing our modern approach to auditing that
works asynchronously so you can complete audits at your own pace, in your own
way. We jump on calls to provide personalised service and ensure you're on track
to achieving your compliance goals.


WHAT COUNTRIES DOES ASSURANCELAB SERVE?

We have clients in over 20 countries, primarily across the United States,
Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

We serve clients in any country by offering global standards, subject to
language requirements and any country-specific regulations that are needed.


DOES ASSURANCELAB PROVIDE CONSULTANCY SERVICES?

We do not design or implement your compliance activities. That’s prohibited for
audit firms based on the independence requirements of the standards. We do offer
tools and guides to help clients understand what is required and provide
feedback on your state of compliance. Our clients look to us as a trusted
advisor based on the valuable insight we provide, but we also have a great
partner network for clients that need more hands-on support.


WHICH STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS DOES ASSURANCELAB COVER?

We work with clients to issue their attestations, assurance reports, and
certifications for: SOC 1, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, CPRA (CCPA), ISO 27001, ISO
27701, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 42001, Consumer Data Right, CSA STAR Level Two,
ESG Reporting, CPS 234, GS 007, and many more that we support with framework
mapping to help you capture your overlap.

Pillar supports 30+ global standards and frameworks including customer specific
requirements. We've also built 15+ custom Drata frameworks for clients that
combine our services with compliance automation.

We are a CPA and CA audit firm, a certified CSA STAR Auditor, and an ISO
certification body, which support our credentials.


WHICH COMPLIANCE PLATFORMS DOES ASSURANCELAB WORK WITH?

We prioritise our clients preferences and adapt our audits to suit the various
platform choices. We have the most mutual clients with Drata. Our Drata Starter
audit model has been refined to maximise the value of automation for our clients
that want to prioritise time and cost savings for their compliance program.
