KIASA completes an independent security audit of its managed services

LONDON, September 10, 2026: KIASA today announced that its managed services practice has completed an independent audit of its security controls, covering the twelve months to the end of July 2026. The examination, carried out by Ashgrove Assurance, an independent audit firm, tested 94 controls across the 31 client platforms KIASA runs, and reported no exceptions.

The audit looked at how KIASA's teams operate, not only at what its policies say. Auditors sampled real changes, incidents, access requests and recovery tests from across the year, and checked the evidence behind each one.

What was examined

• Access: who can reach client systems, how access is granted and removed, and how often it is reviewed.
• Change: how every change to a client platform is proposed, reviewed, tested and recorded.
• Incidents: how problems are detected, escalated, resolved and explained to clients afterwards.
• Recovery: whether backups can be restored, and how long a full recovery takes in practice.
• Suppliers: how the third parties KIASA relies on are chosen, reviewed and monitored.

“Clients trust us with the systems their business runs on. They should not have to take our word for how we look after them. Now they can read an independent account of it, control by control.”

What it means for clients

Clients of KIASA's managed services, including the new KIASA Canopy service, can request the full report under a confidentiality agreement. It will be renewed every year, and future reports will extend the scope to KIASA's own internal systems.

“An audit with no exceptions is a good day, but the real value is in the discipline it takes to get there every single day. We will publish the result each year, whatever it says.”
