The company claims that their customers can provide it to their clients to verify the security of data.

MaximumASP, a Microsoft Gold Certified provider of web hosting and IT services, today announced it has received the SAS 70 Type I report, an internationally recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The company claims that the SAS 70 Report is an independent report on the design of MaximumASP's business processes.

It says that the SAS 70 Type I report shows that its description of certain relevant controls over information technology related to its Louisville and Chicago data centers and hosting operations is presented accurately and that such controls have been properly designed to achieve their specified control objectives.

The company adds that its controls description is broader in scope than many other hosting providers. In addition to the physical security measures covered in typical data center facilities, this report covers a range of information security, network performance, network monitoring, data back-up, disaster recovery, and other controls such as Service Level Agreements.

"MaximumASP obtained the SAS 70 report to demonstrate to regulated and security conscious companies that we have internal controls and procedures related to our data center operations and services," said Wade Lewis, Managing Partner, MaximumASP. "The SAS 70 Type I report is valuable to our customers because they can provide it to their clients to verify the security of their data."
