Ernst &Young LLP performed the yearly examinations, reviewing control objectives and controls at the company's managed and Internet colocation data centers.
Specific areas of the examination included access to facilities, logical access to systems, network services operations, control processes and procedures, and environmental safeguards.
John Karabin, Verizon Business' Asia-Pacific regional vice president for global services, said: "With this industry-recognized audit, we are reinforcing our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance to support our customers' business goals."
The firm's managed Smart Centers provide outsourced web site management and IP-enabled business applications along with the firm's more traditional collocation offerings.
Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, SAS 70 is a widely recognized auditing standard for service organizations such as Verizon Business to demonstrate that they have adequate controls and processes in place. A SAS 70 examination indicates that an independent accounting and auditing firm has examined a service organization's control objectives and related activities. At the conclusion of a SAS 70 examination, a formal report, including the auditor's opinion, is issued to the organization.
The process followed the certifications recently achieved by Verizon Business' IP Application Hosting Centers (Smart Centers) in Germany, Japan, the U.S. and the U.K., and its 15 Premium Internet Data Centers in North America.
