SAS70 Type II Certification and SSAE 16 Type II Attestation Attained by Florida-based eValuation Solutions
Data security ensured
Industry insiders familiar with the standards of SAS70 Type II Certification and AICPA's Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) Type II Attestation recognize the depth of organizational analysis and meticulous scrutiny a candidate company must undergo to be awarded the certifications - and what it means for the clients of eValuation Solutions.
In essence, clients who retain eValuation Solutions are assured that their data is handled securely according to the highest standards.
The SAS 70 and SSAE 16 certifications demonstrate that eValuation Solutions complies with rigorous controls and safeguards when hosting or processing customer data:
- To be awarded the SAS 70 certification, eValuation Solutions was subjected to intense physical and environmental examination by SAS 70 CPA, one of the nation's leading SAS 70 auditing firms. The assessment considered the company's controls, organizational structure, administration policies, security measures, and operational controls, among others.
- The SSAE 16, which will replace the SAS 70 by mid-2011, complies with the same rigorous standards as the SAS 70 and addresses international standards for service organizations (ISAE 3402) with the globalization of information technology and business process outsourcing. SSAE 16 also requires written assertions as to the service organization's systems and the internal controls over financial reporting.
"eValuation Solutions addresses concerns about accuracy and integrity of data and results, and SAS 70 and SSAE 16 certifications provide clients with confidence that we adhere to the highest quality security and operational controls," stated eValuation Solutions Chief Technology Officer Thomas Watson. "We want our clients to trust us to securely maintain the integrity of their data, knowing we have their best interests in mind."
According to Bryan Guckavan, chief executive officer, eValuation Solutions: "Our achievements are a testament to our commitment to having programs and policies in place that promote and ensure integrity and ethical values in our operations. Our compliance model eliminates traditional influence and integrates greater control over factors that can impact proper valuations, providing a reliable, accurate assessment.
"These certifications attest to the quality and level of internal controls our organization maintains to safeguard our clients' information."
