Volico Data Centers is proud to announce the completion of the SOC 2 Type II audit for 2019. A-LIGN, an independent accounting, and auditing firm performed the audits and confirmed Volico’s compliance with these industry standards. The compliance reports confirm that Volico Data Centers’ services meet strict standards for security, availability, control, and data privacy. As a result, they are a good fit for businesses and applications that need this level of protection.
Volico completed this independent audit as part of its ongoing commitment to quality. Since the company serves clients across a range of industries, this audit reflects that same commitment. The SOC 2 Type II reports confirm two things. An independent certified auditor tested and reviewed Volico’s data center security and operational procedures. Volico also built its facility controls and processes to protect customer equipment and data.
SOC 2 Type II reports are the most comprehensive certification within the Systems and Organization Controls protocol. By completing the certification, Volico proved that its systems keep sensitive data secure. The audit also closely examined and evaluated every control that governs how the company interacts with clients and client data.
Volico had already completed two related audits. For example, the first was SSAE 16 Type II (Statement of Standards for Attestation Engagements). The second was SAS 70 (Statement on Auditing Standards). The SOC 2 extends the reach of both.
Service providers must demonstrate that they have adequate controls of data protection technologies and processes. The SOC 2 Type 2 report puts strict audit requirements in place. It also sets a higher bar than SAS70 or SSAE 16 SOC 1. The certification sets Volico apart from other traditional Managed IT firms in the growing cloud ecosystem.
Why is SOC 2 Type 2 certification is so important to our clients?
A company that achieves SOC 2 Type II certification proves its systems keep client data secure. This matters especially for cloud and related IT services, where performance and reliability are essential. Regulators, examiners, and auditors increasingly require it too.
SOC 2 is an attestation standard issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). They provide Volico customers with the assurance of corporate controls, including security, environmental compliance, and operational excellence. For instance, companies that need SOC 2 examination reports include publicly traded enterprises, financial firms, and healthcare organizations. Volico works from its current certifications and each customer’s specific needs. That approach lets customers reach a high level of certification across all of these areas in its data centers.
