Ignition Cloud Achieves Standards Accreditation
Ignition has successfully completed a Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagement No. 16 [SSAE 16 or SOC 1] Type 1 audit for their private cloud system.
A spokesperson said, “A SOC 1 Examination is performed by an independent auditing firm and examines the controls and processes involved in storing, handling, and transmitting data securely.
“The successful completion of the voluntary audit illustrates Ignition’s ongoing commitment to create and maintain the most stringent controls for the protection and security of its customers’ confidential information.
“The Type 1 audit, which included a detailed review of the design of Ignition’s controls, was performed by an independent licensed certified public accounting firm that specializes in conducting SSAE 16 audits.
“Skoda Minotti, a nationally recognized firm, examined Ignition’s controls related to physical security, production availability, backups, change management, customer network and device monitoring, logical access to devices, incident monitoring and tracking, help desk and customer support, and other areas which support the private cloud system.
“Ignition received a service auditor’s report with a clean opinion, demonstrating that Ignition’s policies, procedures, and operations for the areas reviewed met or exceeded the stringent SSAE 16 criteria.”
“Ignition is proud to have achieved this important compliance designation,” said Graham Pearson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ignition. “This independently verifies our commitment to the highest standards of service and operational transparency with our private cloud system and corporate governance.”
Richard James, CTO of Ignition, said, “As any business executive knows, having a technology group that delivers great service at a predictable cost and with universal auditable standards as recognized by the SSAE16 is a huge, demonstrable benefit.
“As one of the few technology providers in this region that invested in and possesses this accreditation, we want to do our utmost in distinguishing Ignition as a platinum provider of technology services and hope this certification provides additional comfort to our existing and prospective customer base.”
Kevin Britten, Director of Service Delivery at Ignition, said, “Running an excellent service delivery team requires great processes and great people. In addition to the great people that we have always had in place, the SSAE16 certification recognizes that we also have auditable processes to ensure excellent service delivery.”
Ben Osbrach, partner-in-charge of Skoda Minotti’s risk management group said, “Congratulations to Ignition for achieving this compliance standard. We found their approach to the audit to be excellent, with detailed and transparent procedures. We look forward to working with them in the future on similar endeavors”.
