Beach Computers' hosting datacenters are certified reliable and secure, having
received Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II Certification.
Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the SAS
70 guidelines audit a service organization’s control objectives, safeguards, and
activities. The accompanying Type II report presents the results of extensive
testing that determines how effectively the organization’s controls meet its
control objectives. The review and report includes a full assessment of:
- Oversight by Executive Management
- Operations and Customer Service
- Development and Information Technology Organization
- Human Resources Policies and Procedures
- Risk Assessment Monitoring
Such a review is important for service organizations that provide services
that are critical to its customers’ operations—the SAS 70 Type II Certification
provides third-party verification that, in turn, the organization’s customers
can supply for audits of their own operations (the audit meets Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements).
