Prestigious compliance certification reaffirms Philadelphia-based technology firm’s ability to provide secure network solutions for the Mid-Atlantic region Philadelphia, PA - July 1, 2011 - IT Solutions, an industry leading, full-service technology firm, today announces its completion of the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II audit compliance certification, one of the most stringent auditing standards for service companies issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The SAS 70 Type II audit serves as a comprehensive independent validation to clients, prospects, and partners that security procedures, management practices, and the quality of services are above industry standards. The SAS 70 extensive auditing process covers a number of key operations - network monitoring, customer service, data backup, change management, deployment, and physical security. With a large concentration on documenting and testing the controls of the ITS data center infrastructure and data security, the successful completion of the SAS 70 audit ultimately provides peace of mind to clients to know that their data are safe. IT Solutions, an employee-owned technology consulting firm, provides network support services and custom application development solutions for hundreds of local small, mid-sized and enterprise companies since 1994. With a major focus on hosted solutions and the cloud, IT Solutions built out a highly secure state-of-the-art data center to provide extra data security, disaster recovery, and business continuity services for SharedVision and NearCloud clients. "We take the security of our client data seriously," said Ted Swanson, Founder and CEO of IT Solutions. "We want our clients to know that we are doing everything we can to provide both the highest level of confidence in our internal operations as well as a high level of client service. We believe SAS 70 signifies this." Publicly traded companies use SAS 70 Type II audits as proof of compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley's Section 404 regulations, which require the design and testing of operating effectiveness of service organization controls. "This certification is a big step for us and it will set us apart among data centers in our area," Swanson said. "Not only will we be able to provide service to a wider range of industries, but it also saves our current clients the time and expense of producing their own independent report for financial statements." A prestigious international specification, the SAS 70 audit reaffirms that IT Solutions delivers uniform and reliable operational controls to safeguard the data of its hundreds of clients across the Mid-Atlantic region.
