Foreign-Owned Telecommunications Company Achieves Unqualified Attestation

Challenge

US regulations require foreign-owned businesses that transport data, including voice and application data, across borders to comply with federal laws. A major global foreign-owned telecommunications company turned to Consult2Comply for assistance in obtaining attestation to federal and international laws and regulations.

How We Helped

Consult2Comply initiated a project to create a comprehensive strategy to show evidence of compliance to various security agency requirements. Our project included the creation and use of a control framework linked to assessments and internal policies being used worldwide.

The strategy was adopted by all concerned parties and extended across international boundaries – saving inestimable amounts of time and human capital to validate all compliance activities.

Results

The telecommunications company successfully obtained an unqualified attestation in its first year of compliance without any significant deficiencies and is now self sufficient in sustaining a long-term compliance posture for federal and international laws and regulations.
