"Receiving the SAS 70 assessment was like graduating... with honors!"— Matthew Cassar, Co-Founder, Executive Vice President
Through the years, SherWeb has built a strong reputation as a trusted provider with a transparent and fully accountable attitude when it comes to the security of customer's mission-critical data.
Greatly concerned with the peace-of-mind of our clientele, we understand that business email, and related information is highly sensitive and that all business activities should strictly comply with industry standards. This is why we safeguard valuable client data through strict procedures, rigorous processes, and leading-edge security system.
In our ongoing effort to provide our customers with the safest hosting environment, we have successfully completed the SAS 70 Type 1 audit, which was performed by Deloitte, a leading professional services firm. This certifies that we have developed and implemented standard controls to manage our business and the delivery of our service to customers.
The Statement on Auditing Standard 70 (SAS 70) is an accounting standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant. The widely recognized standard provides guidance to service auditors that audit the internal controls of service organizations.
SAS 70 audits allow service providers to show transparency and build trust with their customers by having controls and operations verified by an independent, unbiased third party. These audits are also profitable for user organizations as they can assess their provider's controls and safeguards without having to send their own auditors to audit the service organization.
With the growing stream of legislation advocating protection of privacy and corporate accountability, service providers have to implement a strong system of internal controls to meet the needs and requirements of their clients. By going with a SAS 70 compliant hosting provider, you are assured that the organization has controls in place to safeguard your sensitive information and that they are following the best business practices.
