Independent Audit Verifies United Solutions Company’s Internal Controls and Processes
Tallahassee, FL – United Solutions Company (USC), a CUSO and Core Provider to Credit Unions, announced today that it has completed its SOC 1 Type II and SOC 2 Type II audits, performed by KirkpatrickPrice. This attestation provides evidence that USC 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 1 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA and SSAE 18. During the audit, a service organization’s controls that are relevant to ICFR are tested. The SOC 1 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of USC’s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
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 Kirkpatrick Price verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of USC’s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
“Kirkpatrick Price does an excellent job of auditing United Solutions,” states Jim Giacobbe, President and CEO of United Solutions Company. “Twenty years ago, United Solutions would have gone through an annual audit. Today, we are audited all year long with our SOC1 Type II, SOC2 Type II, PCI Compliance, quarterly penetration testing, and additional audits for our Magic Line ATM Network. Maintaining our high standards takes more effort every year. The bar is set high, but passing these audits sets United Solutions apart from our competition.”
“USC’s clients rely on them to protect consumer information,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “As a result, USC has implemented best practice controls demanded by their clients to address information security and compliance risks. Our third-party opinion validates these controls and the tests we perform provide assurance to USC’s clients.”
