Riskonnect Announces Completion of SSAE 16 Examination,
Augmenting It’s Current Third-Party Security Certifications
Marietta, GA August 17, 2011 – Independent risk management software company, Riskonnect, Inc. announced today that the company completed the SSAE 16 Type I Examination of its technology applications and related services, in June 2011. The examination was performed by an independent accounting and auditing firm. Completion of the SSAE 16 Type I Examination indicates that selected Riskonnect processes, procedures and controls have been formally evaluated and tested. The Company is currently undergoing the SSAE 16 Type II Examination and expects to announce completion of that portion of the examination by year end.
“This provides end-to-end third party attestation for our platform and everything we do for our clients, and is supplementary to the best-in-class assurance report available from our platform provider,” commented Bob Morrell, CEO of Riskonnect. “Riskonnect is now the only cloud-computing provider with third-party certification for ALL parts of its operations. Also, Riskonnect provides complete documentation of its related assurance reports providing full transparency to our prospects and clients.”
Riskonnect and its platform provider offer unmatched security and third-party certification. In addition to the latest technology, world-class security requires ongoing adherence to best-practices. To ensure this adherence, Riskonnect’s platform provider continually seeks relevant third-party certification, including ISO 27001 (an attestation covering the management of information security risks), the SysTrust audit (the recognized standard for system security), and SAS 70 Type II (an attestation for internal corporate controls). Through Riskonnect, not only does its platform provider offer the most secure risk management solutions but that same platform also provides solutions for top financial, health care and other industries who demand the highest levels of security with their data.
In addition to third-party platform certifications of its platform provider, Riskonnect provides third-party assurance of its risk technology applications and related services. The SSAE 16 Examination (which replaces SAS70 as of June 2011) attests that Riskonnect has established control objectives covering the following areas: physical and environmental security; computer operations, including backups and incident handling; information security; application change control; data communications; business intelligence; and receipt, input, output and processing of data.
“These examinations confirm that our security meets the latest industry standards,” added Antonio Dabraio, Riskonnect’s Vice President, Research & Development. “Riskonnect’s technical operations are truly best in class in the risk management market.”
