Global Crossing, a leading IP solutions provider, has announced it has broadened the scope and appeal of its Latin America hosting capabilities by securing critical auditing reviews for data centers in key markets, such as Bogotá, São Paulo and Santiago de Chile.
Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 review is a widely recognized auditing standard that evaluates the design and operating effectiveness of controls that have specific objectives, such as the security of financial information. This review is especially important to large businesses. It simplifies their auditing processes and potentially can save them time and reduce their costs.
"Global Crossing's data center operations are consistent with best practices, so we can use our highly reliable services to help our customers succeed in a global world with increasing demands for strict controls," said Gabriel del Campo, senior vice president of data centers for Global Crossing Latin America and Caribbean. "We adhere to key industry standards that outline processes and procedures for running a data center. These reviews confirm that our data center services are managed in line with these standards, giving us a competitive edge."
SAS 70 review is being increasingly accepted by government organizations and private companies that seek an independent opinion to confirm the effectiveness of a provider's processes and internal controls structure. The audit process was conducted by Ernst & Young and provides Global Crossing's customers immediate access to IT services that operate in a controlled environment.
This SAS 70 review enhances some of the company's customer-oriented solutions like Global Crossing Continuity Solutions and Global Crossing On-Demand Solutions.
