The Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (AICPA) for the assessment of service organizations. Professionals who have experience in accounting, auditing and information security perform the audit.
The SAS 70 audit is an intensive process, requiring months of preparation. SAS 70 Type II certification can take years to acquire.
DriveSavers has received both Type I and Type II SAS 70 certification. DriveSavers pursued the SAS 70 audit voluntarily to verify the following for our customers:
- The integrity of our data recovery facilities and data hosting solutions
- The security of our IT assets
- Our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002 and other data privacy and data security compliance regulations
- Our overall IT compliance.
SAS 70 Type II compliance signifies the most stringent form of professional examination. For its Type II audit, DriveSavers identified control objectives in the following areas that were then examined, tested, and certified by Goetsch Associates:
- Control environment
- Computer and network operations
- Data communications
- Network security
- Information security
- Physical security
- Business-environment security
- Logical security
- Business continuity and disaster-recovery planning
- Change management for applications and solutions
- Executive and senior management
- Decision-making processes
- Human resources
SAS 70 Type II compliance verifies our qualification to handle enterprise-class recoveries, and support corporate customers who must maintain compliance with data privacy and data security regulations such as:
- NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) SP 800.34 (Rev.1)
- HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
- SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002)
