SSAE 16 is designed to provide IO customers with a level of assurance of corporate controls and has replaced existing SAS 70 Type 1 and Type 2 audit reports. Deloitte & Touche LLP, a leader in audit, tax, consulting, risk, and financial advisory services, conducted the IO SSAE 16 audit.
Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 Type II is one of the most stringent auditing standards for service companies. SSAE, an internationally recognized standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), effectively replaces SAS 70 as the authoritative guidance for reporting on service organizations – and is the recognized mark of IT service quality. The SSAE 16 Type II certification designates that IO delivers reliable and secure operating environments with the proper controls for conducting high-availability data center operations.
The report, produced after a rigorous independent examination of IO’s internal controls and processes, demonstrates the reliability, security and operational excellence of IO’s modular data center technology for its customers. IO’s SSAE 16 report scope focuses on procedures performed by IO, which are likely to be relevant to its customers’ internal controls over financial reporting. The report is intended for use by IO’s customers and their auditors.
