Why Audit?
A SAS 70 audit, which as of June 15 has been updated and renamed SSAE 16, provides assurance to a company’s clients that the supplier about to receive, process and store their data has documented defensible controls in place to manage their data.
A thorough audit contributes to multiple growth propositions for a company, including business development, competitive differentiation and protection from lawsuits loss or data breaches.
Leading the webinar will be Michael Stough, a Partner at Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP.
