Testing labs in Hillegom

3angles is a Dutch audit, assurance, and certification services firm headquartered at Weerlaan 4, 2181 HH Hillegom, in the Netherlands. Established in 2017, the company began operations in a small office in Mijdrecht before growing to its current premises in Hillegom. 3angles is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van Koophandel) under number 69007144 and trades as 3angles B.V. The firm's core team consists of three partners/shareholders, three directors, and approximately ten in-house auditors, supplemented by a fixed pool of specialist practitioners. Its stated mission is to help ambitious organizations gain control over complex challenges in audit, risk, and compliance — providing transparency, expertise, and independence at every engagement. 3angles operates across three principal service lines: Audit & Assurance, Consulting, and Certification. The Audit & Assurance practice is staffed by senior IT auditors who map organizational risks, identify improvement opportunities, and provide evidence-based assurance that systems and processes meet applicable laws and regulations. A core service within this line is IT audit support during the annual financial statement audit (IT-auditondersteuning binnen de jaarrekeningcontrole), in which 3angles specialists integrate with external financial auditors to assess the reliability and integrity of IT systems underpinning financial reporting. This work demands deep knowledge of IT general controls, application controls, and automated business process controls. ISO 27001 certification is a flagship offering. ISO 27001 is the internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS), and 3angles distinguishes itself by being able to initiate certification activities within four weeks — a rapid mobilization enabled by its qualified auditor pool. Engagements typically span gap analysis, policy and procedure development, risk assessment and treatment, internal audit facilitation, management review support, and coordination with the accredited external certification body. This fast-start capability is especially valuable for organizations facing contractual, regulatory, or tender deadlines that require prompt certification evidence. 3angles' consultants combine technical information-security expertise with broad experience in risk governance and privacy regulations. SOC 2 audits and reporting represent another significant pillar of 3angles' practice. SOC 2, the Trust Services Criteria attestation framework developed by the AICPA, is widely required by North American and international clients evaluating the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls of service organizations. 3angles conducts readiness assessments, prepares clients for Type I and Type II engagements, and produces the associated audit reports used to demonstrate control effectiveness to customers and regulators. Alongside SOC 2, the firm also provides ISAE 3402 audit services — the international equivalent of SOC 1, assessing the internal control environment at service organizations that process transactions on behalf of user entities. The Consulting practice advises organizations on audit, risk management, and compliance challenges, adopting a pragmatic yet thorough approach (pragmatisch en gedegen) tailored to each client's operational context. Engagements range from designing governance and control frameworks to preparing organizations for regulatory inspections and third-party assessments. 3angles serves a broad client base including mid-market and large corporate organizations (MKB+ en corporates) across sectors such as healthcare (zorg), financial services (financiële dienstverlening), government (overheid), and information technology — industries in which information security, data integrity, and regulatory compliance are business-critical priorities. Quality Assurance (QA) consulting forms a dedicated strand within 3angles' service offering. The firm approaches QA as a structural discipline rather than a reactive checkpoint, aiming to proactively improve processes, reduce error rates, and build demonstrable compliance with quality management standards including ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. The methodology follows a four-stage cycle: Analysis (mapping processes, risks, and quality objectives), Plan (developing pragmatic QA policy and approach), Implementation (supporting the rollout of improvement measures), and Monitoring (continuous measurement, evaluation, and adjustment). This structured approach allows clients to build durable quality management systems that continue to deliver value beyond the initial engagement period. 3angles positions itself as an independent partner — one whose consultants provide objective advice free from conflicts of interest — while remaining firmly focused on practical, implementable outcomes. The firm's practitioners combine years of accumulated experience with current knowledge of evolving standards and regulatory requirements. Client references include public-sector bodies such as the municipality of Eersel (gemeente Eersel), where a data controller (gegevensbeheerder) praised the collaborative, educational style of both internal and external audit engagements. Organizations across the Netherlands seeking information security certification, IT audit capacity, SOC 2 or ISAE 3402 attestation, compliance advisory, or structured quality management improvement will find in 3angles a credible, expert partner capable of rapid engagement mobilization and lasting results.
