SAS 70 Type II Audit Boosts NetDepot's Data Center Offering

ATLANTA, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- NetDepot, a leader in dedicated and cloud hosting, announced it has successfully completed its Statement of Auditing Standard No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II certification, which confirms that NetDepot delivers fully secure and reliable, high quality operating standards in its data center operations. This certification is part of a continued commitment by NetDepot to provide its customers with the highest standards for service delivery.

The SAS 70 Type II certification confirms that NetDepot's data center operational and security procedures have been tested and reviewed by an independent, certified public accounting firm. This validates that controls and processes have been properly designed and are operating effectively to safeguard and protect customers' data and equipment.

"By completing this stringent certification, NetDepot can better serve healthcare, financial, government and various other organizations that are required to authenticate sufficient oversight of their service providers," said NetDepot President, Jeff Hinkle. "It is absolutely essential for NetDepot's customers to have effective standards, controls and infrastructure to protect the privacy, security and sensitivity of customer data."

SAS 70 Type II certifications are used by publicly-traded companies as proof of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley's Section 404 regulations. While SAS 70 Type I certifications report on a company's controls in operation, SAS Type II certifications test the organization's operating effectiveness over a period of time in order to demonstrate consistent compliance with the controls.
