Will my website be hosted in A SAS 70 compliant facility?

SAS 70 is a Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, Service Organizations, is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

The primary data center business unit is Type II certified; do rest assured that your data is in good hands. After an in-depth audit of processes and business procedures, the SAS 70 auditor has expressed a favorable opinion on the capacity to deliver services following these three standards:

  • Whether the service organization's description of its controls presents fairly, in all material respects, the relevant aspects of the service organization's controls that had been placed in operation as of a specific date. 
  • Whether the controls were suitably designed to achieve specified control objectives. 
  • Whether the controls that were tested were operating with sufficient effectiveness to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the control objectives were achieved during the period specified.
