SSAE 16 effectively replaces SAS 70 as the authoritative guidance for reporting on service organizations. SSAE 16 was drafted with the intention and purpose of upgrading the U.S. service organization reporting standard so that it mirrors and complies with the new international service organization reporting standard – ISAE 3402.

"Our clients trust us to manage their mission-critical information and ensure a compliance record that consistently reaffirms the continual security and integrity of their organization," said Joel Friedman, Chief Security Officer for Datapipe. "Successfully completing the SSAE16 audit in all of our U.S. facilities enables our clients to meet new standards of control governing financial reporting."
