News < Back Sarbanes Oxley : Technology : SAS 70 Verizon Business Completes SAS 70 Type II Examination IP Application Hosting and Internet Colocation Data Centers Around the Globe
This marks the eighth consecutive year for examination of the company's Smart Centers in the U.S.; the fourth consecutive year for its North-American based Premium Internet Data Centers (except for a new center in Irving, Texas); and the first year for its international Smart Centers in Tokyo and Frankfurt, Germany. Ernst & Young LLP performed the yearly examinations, reviewing control objectives and controls at the company's managed and Internet colocation data centers. Specific areas of examination, which is conducted in compliance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, included access to facilities, logical access to systems, network services operations and environmental safeguards. Control processes and procedures were examined for all of the company's Managed Hosting centers, as well as 15 Premium Internet Data Centers in major cities across North America, including Atlanta, Houston and San Jose, Calif. "At Verizon Business, we have an unsurpassed combination of infrastructure, processes and people for the delivery of IT and hosting solutions," said Kerry Bailey, senior vice president, global services, Verizon Business. "Our customers rely on us to help boost security compliance measures and reduce their risk. By completing this industry-recognized audit, Verizon Business is reinforcing its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance." Enterprise customers can take advantage of the company's managed or Smart Centers to outsource the day-to-day management of their Web sites and IP-enabled business applications. Verizon Business provides expert technical service and support round-the-clock to keep enterprise Web sites and business applications up and running in state-of-the-art facilities.

In this setting, customers can leverage Verizon Business' high-speed Internet connectivity, secure and robust facilities and high-performance infrastructure while using and maintaining their own equipment.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, SAS 70 is a widely recognized auditing standard for service organizations such as Verizon Business to demonstrate that they have adequate controls and processes in place. A SAS 70 examination indicates that an independent accounting and auditing firm has examined a service organization's control objectives and related activities.
