SAS 70 Audits

In today's competitive marketplace, third-party service organizations are now expected to have adequate controls and safeguards when they host, process or account for their customers' data and assets. As a result, SAS 70 service auditor’s reports are being used for a multitude of purposes, including:

  • as market differentiators to provide assurance that they are adequately satisfying their clients’ business control objectives
  • as a benchmark from which they can monitor the ongoing acceptability of their controls and risk management and internal audit activities
  • as tools for companies going public to capture valuable due diligence information
