SAS 70 Type II Certification

The data center has been certified by an independent auditor to be SAS 70 Type II compliant. By devoting substantial time and resources to a SAS 70 audit, The Planet assures all data center facilities meet the highest standards in guaranteeing the safety and security of your information technology.

The Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70, Service Organizations, is an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). A SAS 70 audit recognizes that a hosting provider has had an in-depth audit of its control activities, conducted by an independent third-party auditor. It includes a thorough review of all controls over information technology and related processes. Passing a SAS 70 audit demonstrates to you that the company that owns and operates the data center where our servers are located established adequate controls and safeguards for hosting your data.
