(Some language circulated during the call):
_An Applicant may be approved following submission an Audit prepared by a Kantara-Accredited Assessor at any time after the commencement of operations provided that steps are taken to demonstrate sufficient operation to the satisfaction of the assessor. The Assessor report should indicate (a) the date on which operations commenced, (b) that operations were in accordance with Kantara requirements and the specifications for the applicantthe applicant’s system, and (c) that the Assessor has been engaged by the Applicant to provide a full Kantara Assessment Report following at least 60 days of operation with a focus on items that could not be reasonably verified on the original audit. If a satisfactory Assessment Report is not received by Kantara within 90 days of Approval, the Approval shall be revoked.
- Day zero would not be a default, but could be accommodated and potentially fee-incurring from the burden of a double audit (accepted but not administratively forced).
- The IAWG will need to define "In-Operation" vs. test applicants
- The SACs must be reviewed and addressed in order to further implement whatever policy the IAWG determines responsible.
Consensus:
- Some draft language has been floated via the list for review and approval (captured above, also).
- SAC and at least the AAS would need to be updated.
- The group thinks there is still value in a day-zero audit at LOA 4
- Richard Trevorah offers :"Any criteria in the absence of operation process then steps should be taken to demonstrate controls of the auditor..."
- Patrick has liability concerns at LOA 4 with day zero audits.
