Independent Audit Verifies Net Friends’ Internal Controls and Processes
DURHAM, North Carolina – Net Friends, Inc., a Managed Services Provider, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, performed by KirkpatrickPrice. This attestation provides evidence that Net Friends has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating that they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
A SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA. During the audit, a service organization’s non-financial reporting controls, as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system, are tested. The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of Net Friends’ controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
“Hitting the seven-year mark for SOC 2 Type II compliance speaks volumes about our culture. This milestone gives our clients the peace of mind that their infrastructure is managed by a team that prioritizes their security as much as they do.”
–John Snyder, CEO of Net Friends
“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “Net Friends delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on Net Friends’ controls.”
