BDO and Wavenet have agreed on a strategic partnership focused on cybersecurity assurance, compliance and certification.<\/p>\n

The tie-up brings together Wavenet\u2019s cybersecurity, readiness and technical remediation services with BDO\u2019s audit, assurance and certification work. <\/p>\n

The companies aim to give organisations a single framework covering the full security and compliance process.<\/p>\n

The partnership will first concentrate on SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification pathways.<\/p>\n

It also intends to expand into a wider set of assurance, risk and regulatory requirements over time.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as businesses face increasing regulatory demands, tighter supply chain scrutiny and growing customer expectations around assurance.<\/p>\n

Against that backdrop, many organisations are working with multiple advisory practices, security providers and auditors, creating a fragmented process.<\/p>\n

The partnership is designed to simplify that model by aligning the different stages within one shared programme framework.<\/p>\n

According to BDO, this should help reduce delivery risk, cut internal overheads and speed up the path to assurance.<\/p>\n

Under the arrangement, Wavenet will lead security and compliance readiness work in line with BDO\u2019s assurance framework and approach.<\/p>\n

That work will include cyber maturity and gap assessments, technical remediation, control implementation and managed security services such as SOC and MDR, as well as evidence management and audit preparation.<\/p>\n

BDO will then provide audit, assurance and certification services across the relevant frameworks.<\/p>\n

Wavenet chief information security officer Paul Colwell said: \u201cOrganisations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate verified security and compliance across multiple frameworks, not just one.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership enables us to provide a structured, scalable approach that supports customers throughout their entire assurance journey \u2013 from operational security through to independent certification and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last month, BDO UK partnered with MindBridge to broaden the use of AI and data analytics across its audit operations.<\/p>\n
