SCF 3PAOs are entities accredited by The Cyber AB to conduct SCF-related Third-Party Assessment, Attestation, and Certification (3PAAC) services for Organizations Seeking Assessment (OSA) under the SCF CAP.
SCF 3PAOs provide objective, consistent, thorough, and reliable assessments of an OSA’s implementation of the SCF, ensuring conformance with specified cybersecurity and/or data protection requirements. These organziations play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and credibility of SCF certifications through rigorous and impartial assessments.
The CyberAB is the official Accreditation Body (AB) for the SCF's Conformity Assessment Program (SCF CAP). The CyberAB runs the SCF Marketplace. You can learn more about being a SCF 3PAO and sign up through the CyberAB's website.
