The Leaseweb Trust Model

The compliance framework developed with EY places Leaseweb at the forefront of the industry and provides a solid foundation on which you can build on. By clearly outlining the areas that are covered and by transparently sharing that information, it removes a major headache for customers.

You can present our certification to your auditors to verify quickly and easily that the services provided by Leaseweb meet the very latest requirements.

How the Leaseweb Trust model works

The Leaseweb Trust model uses our portfolio of services, expectations from external and internal stakeholders, and risk assessment workshops as the foundation and starting point of our compliance approach. Based on these inputs we created one custom framework which is divided into building blocks and the different industry standards.

With this multi-audit approach, we use the “test-once test-many” principle. It enables three independent audit firms to work closely with us and makes the Leaseweb trust model location and Leaseweb company independent. But more importantly it provides a completely custom-tailored framework that aligns with our services, business needs and risk landscape, as well as with your expectations as a customer. Every building block is now covered and independently audited by at least one certification or assurance report.

The building blocks of the Leaseweb Trust Model

Normally, SOC1 is associated with financial controls but, given the type of our business we broadened the remit of our assurance reports to reflect our close connection with IT issues. This also enhances their relevance to our customers and their operations.
