ARB Notice regarding KIAF-1340 Service Approval Handbook, 2020-03-30
In light of the present SARS-COV2/COVID-19 virus pandemic the ARB has reviewed the Service Approval Handbook §6.1.3, §8.1.3 and §9.1.3 (which state requirements under which Assessors SHALL include site visits in their assessment program) and determined that, until this notice is rescinded, any Kantara requirements that assessors visit CSPs’ premises or meet face-to-face with personnel are suspended.
While it understands that assessments already utilize a high degree of efficient use of on-line conferencing applications the ARB hereby requests that, in lieu of these above-cited requirements, assessors and CSPs use their best endeavours, given their respective business operation restrictions, to formulate a plan for a virtual inspection to the fullest extent practical, including remote video, of CSP premises.
Assessors SHALL, in their KARs, describe the steps that have been taken to substitute for actual on-site visits and describe any limitations which have been imposed
