SSAE-16-150x150Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16

This is a SSAE 16 audited organization. SSAE 16 effectively replaces SAS 70 as the authoritative guidance for reporting on service organizations. It is a widely recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It represents that a service organization has been through an in-depth audit of their control objectives and control activities, which often include controls over information technology and related processes.
