ShoreGroup Achieves SAS 70 Type II Certification

ShoreGroup, Inc., a premier converged network and systems management solutions and IT professional services firm, today announced that the company has obtained Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II Certification. This extensive audit was conducted by SAS 70 Solutions, Inc., one of the largest audit firms in the United States principally focused in the delivery of SAS 70 audit services. This certification validates that ShoreGroup has successfully completed an in-depth audit of their control objectives and activities, which include controls over information technology processes and confirms that adequate controls and safeguards are in place to protect customer data.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) is a standard for auditing service organizations. Internationally recognized, the standard is used by independent auditors to review a service provider'ss controls for safeguarding its customers's data. The audit conducted of ShoreGroup included not only operational process controls, but also security and information technology processes. Type II certification includes the service organization'ss description of controls, and details testing of the service organization'ss sustained controls during the period under review.

Many organizations, especially financial services organizations that are highly regulated, require the credible proof that SAS 70 certification provides to ensure that their remote management services provider has processes and controls in place to provide a consistent, stable and secure environment to safely monitor and manage customer data.

Ensuring a safe and secure services environment that provides the proven compliance and consistency required by our customers is a top priority, said Robert Bojanek, ShoreGroup'ss Executive Vice President. In today'ss ever-changing services business, clients must have confidence that their service provider is supplying the highest levels of 24x7x365 monitoring, management, response and controls to protect their valuable business assets. Achieving SAS 70 certification provides respected, third-party recognition of the effectiveness of ShoreGroup'ss holistic approach to securing customer data, which starts with the security functionality that is an integral component within our CaseSentry's174; systems management platform, extends to the comprehensive practices followed within the delivery of our ShorePatrol's8482; Remote Management Services, and reaches outward to encompass our overall internal policies and procedures.

SAS 70 certification is only one step that ShoreGroup has taken to meet the demanding requirements of its enterprise customers. ShoreGroup has also adopted an Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework for change control and IT operational processes.
