Using third-party attestations

20 May 2026 4 min read Evidence

When an external attestation is worth obtaining and how it strengthens your evidence base.

Why they help

Third-party or auditor-verified evidence carries the most weight because it is independent. It can decisively raise admissibility for key obligations.

Where to use them

  • High-impact or contested obligations.
  • Areas where self-evidence is weak.
  • Claims customers scrutinise.

Keep them current

Attestations have validity periods — track renewals so they don't lapse.

This is an educational explainer. For the canonical regulation reference, see the dedicated Evidence page — or run an assessment to see how it applies to your product.
