Business Wire
ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS – news) today announced that its
wholly owned subsidiary, ePlus Technology, inc. has successfully
completed its annual SOC 2 Type 2 examination reporting on controls
at a service organization relevant to security, availability, and
confidentiality for its Cloud Hosted Services. In addition, ePlus
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.
Both examinations were performed in accordance with the standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (AICPA).
The SOC 2 Type 2 examination provides customers and auditors
with understanding that the description of services and solutions
provided by ePlus are fairly presented, suitably designed, and
tested to provide reasonable assurance that the applicable trust
services criteria were met. SOC 2 Type 2 reports are attestation
reports that opine on controls at a service organization relevant
to the security, availability, or processing integrity of a system,
or the confidentiality or privacy of the information processed for
the user entities. ePlus was evaluated on the following trust
services principles:
- Security - Information and systems are protected against
unauthorized access, unauthorized disclosure of information, and
damage to systems that could compromise the availability,
integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of information or systems
and affect the entity's ability to meet its objectives.
- Availability - Information and systems are available for
operation and use to meet the entity's objectives.
- Confidentiality - Information designated as confidential
is protected to meet the entity's objectives.
