Explanation

The best method of demonstrating a company's security level to potential customers is a report from an external auditor, who is an independent and qualified third party that evaluates the company's security policies, procedures, controls, and practices against a set of standards or criteria, such as ISO 27001, NIST, or COBIT. A report from an external auditor provides an objective and credible assessment of the company's security posture, and may also include recommendations for improvement or certification.
