About NETS International

NETS International delivers telecom infrastructure, IT solutions, cybersecurity, and managed services to organisations operating in highly regulated and security-sensitive industries.

As the company expanded its global enterprise footprint, customers increasingly required independently verified assurance that NETS maintained strong security, operational, and data protection controls.

Meeting those expectations became critical for winning new business and maintaining trust with existing clients.

The Challenge

Enterprise customers no longer rely solely on security claims—they expect independent verification.

NETS International needed to demonstrate that its internal processes, security controls, and operational practices met internationally recognised standards. Achieving SOC 2 certification required structured governance, documented controls, evidence management, and audit readiness across the organisation.

Rather than managing the complex compliance process internally, NETS chose Sahl to lead the engagement from start to finish.

How Sahl Helped

Sahl GRC with AI managed the complete SOC 2 compliance programme, providing guidance throughout every stage of the project.

Readiness Assessment

The engagement began with a comprehensive assessment of NETS International’s existing security posture. Current controls were mapped against the SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, allowing the team to identify compliance gaps and prioritise remediation activities.

Control Implementation

Sahl worked closely with NETS to establish the policies, procedures, and operational controls required for SOC 2. Each control was aligned with the organisation’s real business operations rather than implemented as a checklist exercise.

Audit Readiness & Support

Throughout the audit process, Sahl coordinated evidence collection, validated documentation, and supported audit preparation to ensure a smooth certification process.

Results

The engagement concluded with NETS International successfully achieving SOC 2 certification.

The certification provides independently verified assurance that the organisation maintains strong security and operational controls—helping strengthen trust with telecom operators, financial institutions, enterprise customers, and other regulated organisations worldwide.

Key Outcomes

• Successfully achieved SOC 2 certification.
• End-to-end compliance programme delivered by Sahl GRC with AI.
