Clearview Achieves SSAE 16 Type II Audit for Its Texas Data Centers

Includes Both Data Center Services and Managed Services Offerings

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearview International, LLC, today announced it has obtained SSAE 16 audit certification for its data centers in North and Central Texas. SSAE 16 replaces the previous auditing standard, SAS 70, which reviews the operating effectiveness of the internal controls as well as verifying that the design of the internal controls meets high standards. Clearview data centers have been SAS 70 Type II for many years.

“Clearview tested and attained its many control objectives – even under the more exacting SSAE standards”

“Clearview tested and attained its many control objectives – even under the more exacting SSAE standards,” commented Jay Battershell, Clearview COO. “Clearview centers continue to be a safe, highly controlled environment for clients’ primary and recovery data centers.”

The Clearview data centers have been verified in a Service Organization Control Report (SOC 2) prepared under the terms of the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (SSAE 16) by independent auditing firm Montgomery, Coscia and Greilich, LLP. The independent audit assessed the following key areas:

• Oversight by executive management
• Operations and customer service
• Development and information technology organization
• Human resources policies and procedures
• Risk assessment monitoring

TJ Karklins, Clearview’s CEO, noted, “Data center colocation creates a strong ROI for enterprise clients. This value is realized through disciplined daily operation of well-designed facilities and rigorous compliance standards. Our successful transition to the improved SSAE 16 Type II standard is a clear testament to our great people.”
