An AUP is a focused engagement where our expert team performs specific, client-agreed tests and reports factual findings, ensuring clarity and compliance.

This delivers consistent, high-quality results with minimal disruption, empowering your organization with confidence and a competitive edge through customized, dedicated support.
Additionally, partner with GBQ to assist in the establishment of an internal audit function, assess the performance of your existing internal audit function, or transform your current internal audit function from a poorly perceived, compliance-only function to a risk-based, process-focused function. Our team works closely with all internal audit functions, management, and audit committees to help you achieve the coverage your organization requires.

IT Audit & SOC Reporting
At GBQ, we uphold integrity as the foundation of effective governance. Local leaders and businesses rely on our expertise to design robust internal controls and implement tailored technology solutions that ensure ethical, compliant operations.
Recognizing that no organization operates in isolation, many outsource critical processes, including data management. This underscores the need for rigorous vendor due diligence, with SOC reports serving as a key tool.
Trust drives growth. SOC examinations deliver customized reports—distinct to your operations—that provide an independent auditor’s opinion on the design and operating effectiveness of controls over a full period (typically one year). Share these reports with stakeholders to build confidence and demonstrate control strength.
