SAS70 VPS SECURITY = PEACE OF MIND

VISI offers SAS70 VPS Hosting because we have successfully completed a SAS70 Type II audit. Through the assistance of the independent auditing firm of RSM McGladrey, VISI completed the SAS 70 Type II audit of its internal control environment. RSM McGladrey audited VISI’s processes and policies to ensure compliance and consistency with the documented controls. This consisted of onsite audit reviews and testing, plus meetings with VISI’s management team.

What is SAS 70?

Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70, commonly referred to as SAS70, is an auditing statement developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SAS 70 is designed to allow auditors to review the controls established by service organizations. Independent auditors review the control objectives and activities to ensure the controls are valid and enforced.

A control is a method used to ensure a policy and/or procedure established by a service organization is followed. Controls are in place at VISI to ensure our user organizations are protected. VISI's controls include building access/security, datacenter access/security, data storage, customer information security and change procedures of hardware/software.

There are two types of SAS 70 auditor reports, Type I and Type II.

Type I SAS 70 audits focus on the validity of the controls in operation at the service organization to ensure they complete the specified control objectives.
Type II SAS 70 audits focus on the Type 1 controls that are in place as well as how they are executed over a specific period of time.

VISI has completed a Type II SAS 70 audit. The SAS 70 Type II audit applies to our dedicated and colocation hosting services and facilities.

What this means for VISI (as a service organization)

Ongoing SAS 70 Type II audits ensure VISI is keeping their policies and procedures up to date as technology and business needs change. As these audits are performed by independent auditors, this ensures VISI is continuing to create and implement proper controls. This is how TOTALVPS offers secure VPS hosting solutions and explains our remarkable uptime track record.
