SAN JOSE, Calif.--BUSINESS WIRE--Kontiki, the leading provider of enterprise video solutions, announced
today that it has successfully completed the Statement on Auditing
Standards No. 70 SAS 70 Type II audit, which assesses the operational
effectiveness of internal controls within IT service organizations. The
certification provides further validation and assurance to customers who
use Kontiki’s Enterprise Video Platform that their data is secure.
“with the proliferation of
rules and regulations over the past decade, auditors and regulators look
at the service provider's environment as an extension of the customer's
own environment. Customers often require vendors to provide them with a
SAS 70 statement to meet their audit requirements.”
Kontiki delivers video everyday to hundreds of thousands of global
workers in many of the world’s largest companies in the financial
services, retail, technology, telecommunications and manufacturing
market sectors.
Karen Castagnera, vice president of IT, Operations and Support for
Kontiki, says that the number one question from customers is: how can
you guarantee that our data is secure? “By passing the SAS 70 audit,
Kontiki proves it has the processes, procedures and policies in place
and that we are running a secure data center and video service for our
Enterprise customers.”
“We believe Kontiki to be the first enterprise video SaaS solution to
achieve this certification. It is a huge differentiator for Kontiki in
the market and demonstrates our company’s dedication to securely
delivering the greatest value to customers,” adds Castagnera.
Leading analyst firm Gartner recommends that “with the proliferation of
rules and regulations over the past decade, auditors and regulators look
at the service provider's environment as an extension of the customer's
own environment. Customers often require vendors to provide them with a
SAS 70 statement to meet their audit requirements.”1
The recent audit assessed the suitability of Kontiki’s design and
operational controls around the company’s core operations – including
network security, software release cycles and system performance.
SAS 70 is a widely-recognized auditing standard developed by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which sets standards
for auditors to use in order to fairly and objectively assess the
internal controls of service organizations. Many companies and their
auditors, especially financial services and other highly regulated
organizations, require proof that a third-party provider of information
used in financial statements has processes and controls in place for a
secure environment.
