Repeat attestation
After your first successful attestation, the focus shifts to maintaining and enhancing your control environment for repeat attestations.
The observation period typically extends to a full 12 months for repeat attestations. This longer timeframe means controls must be consistently executed and evidenced throughout the year, not just during a concentrated preparation period.
With each repeat attestation, look for opportunities to mature your security program beyond baseline requirements. This might include implementing additional controls, expanding your scope to include more Trust Services Criteria, or adopting more sophisticated security technologies like GRC and compliance automation tools.
