Amstelveen / San Diego 15 April 2010 - With this year’s renewal SaaSplaza has since 2006 consistently met the qualifications of the Standards of Auditing Statement No 70 type II (SAS70 Type II). This benchmark, set up by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is widely recognized because it verifies and asserts that a service organization has been through an in-depth audit of their control objectives and control activities.
SaaSplaza is using the management controls of the ISO 27001 standard as reference point for its annual SAS 70 audit. Deloitte, who has executed this audit, has investigated if these ISO 27001 controls were in place, and tested during a six month audit period if these controls were effective.
The report gives a detailed description of the state of operation of SaaSplaza and confirms that SaaSplaza meets industry standards on data security, availability, process integrity and privacy. With this report, signed off by Deloitte, SaaSplaza’s Partners and their Customers can again effectively demonstrate to their stakeholders that they are in control with respect to safeguarding their data.
“The SaaS market is a relatively young market which still has to prove that service providers such as SaaSplaza services can be trusted to store your sensitive data” says Michiel Steltman, CTO of SaaSplaza ” The ISO 27001 benchmark and our SAS-70 type II report deliver a contribute significantly to this necessary trust, and refute the common misconception that companies are by default better off when storing their data “on-premise”.
“SaaSplaza is the only Service Provider in Europe who met the SAS-70 auditing standard for the fourth year in row”; according to Herb Prooy, CEO of SaaSplaza;” With this report we are showing our commitment and drive to be the best in our class”
