The GIAS Challenge: Are you truly adding value?
The new GIAS shift the focus of Internal Audit from just assurance to value creation. Your stakeholders (and the standards) expect more.
The Problem: An internal assessment can miss blind spots, and the pressure to deliver results can overshadow the need for independent review.
Our Solution: Our independent External Quality Assessment (EQA) provides the crucial third-party perspective needed to objectively measure your alignment with all the GIAS, particularly those relating to governance, purpose, and responsibility.
We help you turn GIAS conformance from a mandatory headache into a competitive advantage that boosts stakeholder confidence.

As of 5 February 2026, your External Quality Assessment (EQA) strictly evaluates your conformance with the Cybersecurity Topical Requirement. This is no longer optional guidance; it is now a mandatory minimum baseline for all assurance services.
A standard pass is not enough when cyber risk remains a top-tier business issue. You must be able to document evidence that specific risk, governance, and control requirements were assessed, effectively translating technical risk into strategic insight for the Board.
Ensure your cyber assurance is fully conformant with this rigorous standard. Our EQA services deliver the authoritative validation you need for your organisation's cyber posture.
We have compiled a comprehensive guide, available for download in the QA File Library at the bottom of our QAS webpage. Please note that you must be registered and logged in to view it.
