Where we start

How security, compliance and AI assurance connect — one team, one story.

One engagement. Many moving parts. Most compliance and technology work starts with a single driver — a customer audit, an investor review, a procurement checklist or a certification deadline. We start there too, then map what else needs to align: security, ISO compliance, privacy, accessibility, AI assurance, and the systems behind all of it.

Group 01

Assure & comply: security, ISO, privacy and accessibility.

Group 02

Build & engineer: AI, testing and architecture.

Independent assurance layer

Third-Party Accreditation & AI Assurance

Operate & Manage

The operational layer underneath it all.

Connecting the pieces

One team, connecting the pieces.

Security, ISO compliance, privacy, accessibility and AI assurance define what “good” looks like. Our engineering, testing and advisory teams build and run it. Most clients start with one need — and find we’re already positioned to help with the rest.

In the AI era, compliance isn’t a gate you pass once — it’s a loop that keeps running, the same way the system it governs keeps shipping.

Group 01 (Assure & Comply) ↔ Group 02 (Build & Engineer):

Drawn this way on purpose: continuous, two-way governance — not a one-time hand-off — is how NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001 both frame AI governance today.

A client need enters through any one of four common triggers, maps into Assure & Comply practices that define the bar, which Build & Engineer practices build against — and in turn, AI testing and build-stage findings feed back and refine that bar. Both groups are independently reviewed by VVnT Accreditation — governed by VVNT Foundation, separate from VVnT SeQuor's delivery teams — which issues the VVnT POC Assurance Certificate (POC: Proof of Compliance).

Group 01 · Assure & Comply

Cybersecurity & Cyber Assurance

VAPT, third-party application assessments, DevSecOps and cloud security and architecture — a continuously tested security posture, not a once-a-year audit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is VVnT Accreditation?

VVnT Accreditation is VVnT SeQuor’s independent AI and product assurance service. It reviews evidence from across cybersecurity, ISO compliance, privacy, accessibility and AI testing engagements and issues the VVnT POC Assurance Certificate. Its standards and SOPs are governed by VVNT Foundation, kept separate from VVnT SeQuor’s delivery teams, so the review stays independent of the work it is reviewing. Explore VVnT Accreditation →

What does POC stand for in the VVnT POC Assurance Certificate?

POC stands for Proof of Compliance. It’s a VVnT-issued assurance artifact recording the scope, criteria, evidence and outcome of an independent review — not an ISO/IEC management-system certification or an accreditation under any national accreditation scheme. See the full terminology →

Is the relationship between Assure & Comply and Build & Engineer one-way or two-way?

It’s continuous and two-way. Assure & Comply practices — security, ISO compliance, privacy, accessibility — define what “good” looks like for Build & Engineer practices to build against, and AI testing and build-stage findings feed back to refine that bar. This mirrors how NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001 both frame AI governance as an ongoing loop rather than a one-time handoff — see how the two frameworks compare →

How many ways can an engagement with VVnT SeQuor start?

Four common triggers, and any one of them works as an entry point: a customer audit, an investor review, a procurement checklist, or a certification deadline. Each maps into whichever Assure & Comply practices apply, so there’s no single required starting point.

Does VVnT Accreditation issue ISO certifications or accreditation-body designations?

No. VVnT Accreditation is VVnT SeQuor’s own independent assurance service, not an accreditation body recognized under a national accreditation scheme. For ISO/IEC management-system certification itself, VVnT SeQuor prepares clients for audits performed by accredited, independent certification bodies. Explore ISO & Compliance Implementation →

Who governs VVnT Accreditation’s review standards?

VVNT Foundation designs the standards, practices and SOPs that VVnT Accreditation reviews against. VVnT SeQuor delivers the engagement being reviewed. Keeping these separate — who sets the bar, who is reviewed, and who reviews independently — follows the same structural separation the IIA’s Three Lines Model uses for governance internationally.
