The audits are a joke (iso 27001 means nothing in practice, as anyone working in a 27001 certified company can tell you), and what has been in the news is that the only foreign partner who signed up to this clown show promptly went bankrupt in 2022: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/cyber-nb-shutti...

So what, exactly, is this press release supposed to prove?

That Kaspersky gave the US every imaginable means of ensuring everything was on the up and up, and that the allegations were unjustified. Yet the US seemingly had no interest whatsoever in investigating their own claims.

The US correctly assessed that this was empty PR theatre and not worth enabling.
