I have assesed, designed and implemented these in many countries in the world. I am presently writing a short article about cloud computing and the risks involved.<br />Once again, thanks for the article.

As the CTO of a company that provides a SaaS solution, and one that is Type II SAS70 certified, I agree that while it is not the end all, it's a credible audit (especially if done by a credible auditor) that shows process maturity in an organization by exposing the operational processes and controls and validates that they are consistently executed (for Type II). If nothing else, it provides the customer with a starting point to ask questions about the SaaS operation. Additionally, the extent to which the operations are covered also provide further insight into the organizational maturity. For example, if the company develops the software, is the software development process also audited or is it just the data center operation? These details provide valuable insight when selecting a SaaS solution for critical business operations.<br /><br />Sean Nathaniel<br />CTO<br />FileBoundSeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394099838437871412noreply@blogger.com
