Why Is AlphaBetas the Right Choice?
When you pay an auditor to perform a SAS 70 audit, their job is to review your procedures and documentation and to report on the validity of your claims. Most organizations undertaking a SAS 70 type I audit have little knowledge of what to expect, and may become overwhelmed with the amount of information necessary from both operations and the IT department. Alphabetas is here to provide the guidelines ahead of time, and if necessary, help you put the processes in place and gather the reports to satisfy the audit.
