February 14, 2008 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – Web host HostMySite.com (http://www.hostmysite.com) has gained SAS 70 Type II certification, it was reported yesterday. Based in Newark, Delaware, USA, the company engaged the services of auditing firm Clifton Gunderson, LLP to prepare for the audit, which covered the company’s internal control environment and involved onsite audit reviews and testing alongside “detailed meetings” with the HostMySite management.
SAS 70 was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and ensures the “control objectives” (policies and procedures) and related activities of service companies are “valid and enforced” and followed.
"We are proud to show our continued commitment to a high level of quality services offered to our new and existing customers by having successfully completed our first SAS 70 Type II report,” explained HostMySite.com’s Director of Compliance, Mr. Timothy Kaufman. “As anyone who has gone through this auditing process knows, it takes the dedication and commitment of the entire organization to come through this process with the auditor's statement of "No Exceptions Found". This ensures our customers that the security policies, practices and high levels of quality in the services we offer are consistent and reliable. HostMySite.com has achieved this in the past year by increasing the internal auditing of our processes to ensure our consistency and reliability. As always our focus is on providing HostMySite.com customers with the finest level of products and services they can find in a web hosting provider."
There are two types of SAS 70 auditor reports. Type I audits the validity of the controls in operation at a service organization to “ensure they complete the specified control objectives”. Type II audits consider controls and how they are executed over a specific period of time.
