Site-Four, a venture of the cuasterisk.com network headquartered in Yankton, South Dakota, announced the availability of its SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2 Audit Report. The audit was performed by Crowe Horwath LLP, a public accounting and consulting firm based in Oak Brook, Illinois and covered the period of April 1st, 2015 to September 30th, 2016.

SSAE 16 SOC 1Type 2 is an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2 supersedes the SAS 70 audit standard, and is designated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an acceptable method for management to obtain assertions about service organization internal controls without conducting separate assessments.

The control objectives audited by the SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2 report addressed Site-Four in relation to:

• Availability
• Change Management
• Customer Support
• Data Backup
• Database Security
• Logical Access
• Systems Availability and Monitoring
• Network Security

The SSAE 16 report affirms Site-Four’s system design and organizational controls meet the exacting standards and industry benchmarks of the AICPA.

“It is important that our customers know that we remain committed to the highest standards,” says Alan Rogers, Site-Four CEO. “Every day we see how important data security is for our customers as announcements of breeches and hacked systems frequent the news more and more often. Site-Four is committed to provide our customers with confidence that we have taken the necessary measures to ensure the protection of their data.”
