ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- XIOLINK, a St. Louis-based leading provider of managed infrastructure, colocation and private cloud computing, has successfully completed and achieved compliance with the critical Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 SOC1 audit. XIOLINK achieved compliance at all four of its state-of-the-art datacenter facilities.

By completing this industry standard audit, XIOLINK customers are assured the company adheres to the key industry best practices for policies, procedures and operations, including the security of information and its data centers. It is important for companies in this industry to comply with the SSAE standards due to the sensitive nature of the data that is being managed.

"Achieving compliance with the SSAE16 SOC1 standards demonstrates XIOLINK's continued dedication to top-of-the-line security and operational procedures for our customers," says Brad Pittenger, chief executive officer at XIOLINK. "We are proud to be the first in St. Louis to complete SOC1 for our internal control over financial reporting and are working toward SOC2 for security, availability and confidentiality."

The new SSAE No. 16 set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants is a new industry service standard and replaces the Statements on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) in June 2011. SSAE No. 16 outlines the guidance standards for examining and reporting a service organization's business controls.
