Good afternoon all:

Happy New Year!  As many of you may know, Kantara plans to transition to following the ISO 17065 standard for assessments and certification in 2025, and we wish to provide as much information as possible to all parties via information sessions to review the benefits.

On January 9th at 12PM EST, we are running a 1-hour session, and we welcome your participation.  (For IAWG participants: This will occur on the usual Zoom link and serves as the weekly call.)

There are many good reasons to provide assessments that follow this international standard, and as such, the session will cover:

• Overview of ISO 17065

• Benefits for assessed companies

• What ISO 17065 covers and how this affects you

• What will Kantara do differently?

• A brief list of documents to be updated

• Q&A

We are excited to see you on January 9th.  Zoom details are below.  RSVPs are unnecessary, but please contact staff@kantarainitiative.org with any additional questions.  Also, feel free to forward to others who may benefit from attending!
