Adopts AICPA’s New Trust Criteria Ahead of Schedule
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (BUSINESS WIRE) Secure-24 ,
an NTT Communications Company, and a leading global provider of
comprehensive managed cloud services, IT operations, applications
hosting, and managed security services, today announced the successful
completion of the Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 & 3 evaluation in
compliance with the newestAmerican
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
guidelines.
With fluid regulatory landscapes and increased demand for transparency
into controls and processes, the AICPA continually refines the reporting
criteria used in SOC reports. In April 2017, the organization updated
the Trust Services Principles and Criteria (now the 2017 Trust Services
Criteria) impacting the controls required to be included with SOC 2 and
3 reports. Secure-24 has adopted the new Trust Services Criteria earlier
than December 15, 2018 as required by the AICPA.
“Information security is our highest priority and Secure-24 prides
itself on establishing the highest quality standards for process
improvement. We are pleased that our SOC 1, SOC 2 and SOC 3 Reports
affirm that Secure-24 has implemented the highest controls to mitigate
risk,” said Jaclyn Miller, Vice President of IT and Compliance at
Secure-24. “The reports provide clients with third-party verification
that our operations meet process and control requirements relevant to
user entity financial statements and also meet internationally
recognized standards.”
Issued by Ernst & Young LLP, global accredited and independent
accountants, SOC 2 and SOC 3 compliance confirms that Secure-24 has
controls in place to ensure the security, availability, processing
integrity and confidentiality of its managed cloud services. Secure-24
is among the first to issue a SOC 3 Report to clients regarding its
compliance to the new AICPA Trust Services Criteria.
The AICPA Trust Services Criteria aligns the SOC 2 and SOC 3 control
requirements to COSO 2013 Internal Control Integrated Framework. A SOC
3 compliance report is designed to meet the needs of existing or
potential customers who need assurance about the effectiveness of
controls at a service organization that are relevant to the security,
availability or processing integrity of the system used by the service
organization to process a customers’ information or the confidentiality
or privacy of that information.
