ePlus has once again achieved the Type 2 SSAE 18 (Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements) examination, also commonly referred to as Service Organization and Controls (SOC 1) Report, for its Managed Services Center, Service Desk and OneSource family of software products that provide information technology acquisition, asset management, procurement, and catalog management software services.  The Type 2 SSAE 18 examination was performed in accordance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

The company also successfully completed the Type 2 SSAE 18 examination (SOC2) for Cloud Hosted Services, which evaluates controls at a service organization relevant to security, availability, and confidentiality. The SSAE 18 examination provides customers and auditors with an understanding that the description of services and solutions provided by ePlus are fairly presented and suitably designed.

In addition, ePlus successfully completed an attestation examination (formally known as an Independent Practitioner’s Report) on the Information Security Program Related to HIPAA and HITECH for its Cloud Hosted Services. ePlus has also attained Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) attestation as a Service Provider of network monitoring and management services for its Managed Services Center. The PCI DSS is a comprehensive set of standards that requires service providers to adhere to strict information security controls and processes.
