SPARK Professional Services Supports iscore in Successfully Completing SOC 2® Type II Audit and Passing ISO/IEC 27001 Surveillance Audit
Cairo, Egypt – SPARK Professional Services is proud to celebrate a major cybersecurity milestone with iscore – The Egyptian Credit Bureau, following the successful completion of its SOC 2® Type II audit and the successful passing of its ISO/IEC 27001 surveillance audit.
This achievement reflects iscore’s continued commitment to information security, governance, operational resilience, and protecting the trust placed in the organization by financial institutions, partners, regulators, customers, and stakeholders.
iscore has maintained its ISO/IEC 27001 certification journey for five years, demonstrating a sustained commitment to managing information security risks in line with internationally recognized standards. SPARK Professional Services has been honored to support iscore over the past two years through cybersecurity advisory, governance support, control reviews, evidence validation, readiness activities, and continuous improvement initiatives.
SOC 2® Type II is one of the most recognized assurance reports for organizations responsible for managing sensitive customer and business information. Unlike point-in-time assessments, SOC 2® Type II evaluates whether relevant controls are operating effectively over a defined review period. This provides stronger assurance to customers and stakeholders that security practices are consistently applied and maintained.
The successful completion of the SOC 2® Type II audit, together with passing the ISO/IEC 27001 surveillance audit, reinforces iscore’s mature approach to cybersecurity governance, risk management, operational controls, and continuous improvement.
Building Trust Through Strong Governance
For organizations operating within the financial services ecosystem, trust is a critical business asset. Customers, partners, and regulators expect organizations to demonstrate that strong security controls are not only implemented, but also maintained and operating effectively over time.
Through this engagement, SPARK Professional Services worked closely with iscore’s teams to support security control assessment, governance review, documentation enhancement, evidence readiness, audit preparation, and alignment with international best practices.
The engagement was approached as a continuous improvement journey, not a checklist exercise. Both teams focused on strengthening practical and sustainable security capabilities that support long-term business resilience.
More Than Compliance
While certifications and audit milestones are important, their real value comes from the business outcomes they create. Strong cybersecurity programs improve governance, enhance risk management, strengthen operational resilience, increase stakeholder confidence, and support secure digital transformation.
By embedding security into day-to-day operations, organizations become better prepared to respond to evolving threats, regulatory expectations, and business requirements.
SPARK Professional Services remains committed to helping organizations across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the wider region build stronger, more resilient cybersecurity programs through specialized services covering Governance, Risk and Compliance, security assessments, offensive security, SOC services, security automation, digital risk management, and compliance advisory.
Leadership Perspective
“Helping organizations strengthen trust through effective cybersecurity is at the core of what we do at SPARK Professional Services. Supporting iscore in successfully completing its SOC 2® Type II audit and passing its ISO/IEC 27001 surveillance audit is a milestone we are very proud of.
This achievement reflects more than audit success. It demonstrates strong governance, operational discipline, continuous improvement, and a shared commitment to protecting sensitive information.
We congratulate the entire iscore team on this well-deserved success and look forward to continuing our partnership as they further strengthen their cybersecurity maturity and resilience.”
