To: Intrepid Fox Project Limited and Technologies LLM Europe ("Intrepid Fox" or "the Company")
We have examined Intrepid Fox's accompanying description of its Intrepid Fox Platform found in Section 3 titled “Intrepid Fox's Description of its Intrepid Fox Platform as of November 30, 2024” (description), based on the criteria for a description of a service organization’s system set forth in DC Section 200, 2018 Description Criteria for a Description of a Service Organization’s System in a SOC 2® Report (AICPA, Description Criteria), (description criteria) and the suitability of the design of controls stated in the description as of November 30, 2024, to provide reasonable assurance that Intrepid Fox's service commitments and system requirements were achieved based on the trust services criteria relevant to Security (applicable trust services criteria) set forth in TSP Section 100, 2017 Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy (AICPA, Trust Services Criteria).
The description indicates that certain complementary user entity controls that are suitably designed and operating effectively are necessary, along with controls at Intrepid Fox, to achieve Intrepid Fox's service commitments and system requirements based on the applicable trust services criteria. The description presents Intrepid Fox's controls, the applicable trust services criteria, and the complementary user entity controls assumed in the design of Intrepid Fox's controls. Our examination did not include such complementary user entity controls and we have not evaluated the suitability of the design or operating effectiveness of such controls.
Intrepid Fox uses a subservice organization for data center colocation services. The description indicates that complementary subservice organization controls that are suitably designed and operating effectively are necessary, along with controls at Intrepid Fox to achieve Intrepid Fox's service commitments and system requirements based on the applicable trust services criteria. The description presents Intrepid Fox's controls, the applicable trust services criteria, and the types of complementary subservice organization controls assumed in the design of Intrepid Fox's controls. The description does not disclose the actual controls at the subservice organization. Our examination did not include the services provided by the subservice organization, and we have not evaluated the suitability of the design or operating effectiveness of such complementary subservice organization controls.
Intrepid Fox is responsible for its service commitments and system requirements and for designing, implementing, and operating effective controls within the system to provide reasonable assurance that Intrepid Fox's service commitments and system requirements were achieved. In Section 2, Intrepid Fox has provided the accompanying assertion titled “Assertion of Intrepid Fox Project Limited and Technologies LLM Europe's Management” (assertion) about the description and the suitability of design of controls stated therein. Intrepid Fox is also responsible for preparing the description and assertion, including the completeness, accuracy, and method of presentation of the description and assertion; providing the services covered by the description; selecting the applicable trust services criteria and stating the related controls in the description; and identifying the risks that threaten the achievement of the service organization’s service commitments and system requirements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the description and on the suitability of design of controls stated in the description based on our examination. Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform our examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether, in all material respects, the description is presented in accordance with the description criteria and the controls stated therein were suitably designed to provide reasonable assurance that the service organization’s service commitments and system requirements were achieved based on the applicable trust services criteria. We believe that the evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The description is prepared to meet the common needs of a broad range of report users and may not, therefore, include every aspect of the system that individual users may consider important to meet their informational needs. There are inherent limitations in any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of controls. The projection to the future of any conclusions about the suitability of the design of controls is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, in all material respects—
This report is intended solely for the information and use of Intrepid Fox; user entities of the Intrepid Fox Platform as of November 30, 2024, business partners of Intrepid Fox subject to risks arising from interactions with the Intrepid Fox Platform, practitioners providing services to such user entities and business partners, prospective user entities and business partners, and regulators who have sufficient knowledge and understanding of the following:
