SAS-70 is today the world leading auditing standard for Service Providers such as SaaSplaza that found its origin in supporting SOX compliancy in the USA. SaaSplaza is SAS type II certified since 2006 and is only one of the few Service Providers in the world who qualifies for this standard. With a SAS-70 type II certificate SaaSplaza demonstrate that it has taken measures to prevent adverse effects on customers data caused by flawed processes and IT systems. Conversely, without a SAS-70 type II statement there is no evidence that relevant management controls operate effectively.
