Skoda Minotti's testing of SAFER Systems' controls included examination of their policies and procedures regarding network connectivity, firewall configurations, systems development life cycle, computer operations, logical access, data transmission, backup and disaster recovery and other critical operational areas of their business. Upon completion of the audit, SAFER Systems demonstrated that their policies, procedures and infrastructure meet or exceed the stringent SOC 2^® criteria.

SOC 2^® engagements are performed in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) AT-C 205, Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, and based on the trust service principles outlined in the AICPA Guide Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization Relevant to Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, or Privacy. The SOC 2^® Type I report is performed by an independent auditing firm and is intended to provide an understanding of the service organization's suitability of the design of its internal controls. A service organization may select any or all of the trust service principles applicable to their business and SAFER Systems chose to report on security, availability, processing integrity and confidentiality.

President of SAFER Systems Eric Fishman said, "The successful completion of our SOC 2^® Type I examination audit provides SAFER Systems' clients with the assurance that the controls and safeguards we employ to protect and secure their data are in line with industry standards and best practices."
