PRESS RELEASE — CLOUD PARTNERS — Cloud-tech firm Effortless Office (Booth 819) recently completed its examination in conformity with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization.
Completion of the SSAE 16, SOC 1 type II examination indicates that selected Effortless Office processes, procedures and controls have been formally evaluated and tested by an independent accounting and auditing firm. The examination included the company’s controls related to:
Client setup and maintenance
Physical security
Computer operations availability
Information security
Application development maintenance and documentation
Data communication
Transaction processing and transaction reporting
This is the latest compliance accreditation for Effortless Office, which has also successfully completed the latest HIPAA Security Assessment in line with HIPAA and HITECH. Officials explained that SSAE 16 is designated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an acceptable method for a user entity’s management to obtain assurance about service organization internal controls, without conducting additional assessments.
Effortless Office CFO and Compliance Officer, Danielle Thomason, joined the Effortless team after leading the finance and compliance division of the first highly-regulated online gaming company. In her time working with the gaming industry, Thomason became passionate about operating effectiveness and auditing measures to demonstrate transparency.
“Holding our standards as high as required by the COSO framework and state governments will be an Effortless priority. I want it like Fort Knox around here. These types of independent audits are what it takes to successfully demonstrate Effortless Office’s commitment to ensuring transparency, integrity and ethical values. Our control environment, risk assessment, and communication will be at the forefront of accounting, auditing and data privacy best practices” said Thomason.
Completion of the SSAE 16 Type II examination is consistent with Effortless Office’s ongoing commitment to maintain the very highest standards of accountability, security, and fiduciary responsibility, within the technology sector today.
