CLIFTON, N.J.—June 5, 2014—Sandy Alexander, a leader in integrated multi-channel communications solutions headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey, announced it has successfully completed an independent CPA audit of the IT security controls surrounding its systems and data–SSAE 16, SOC 1. Addressing security and privacy safeguards for customers, SOC 1 standards require physical security and environmental controls over systems and data; confidentiality of data; disaster recovery including backup and recovery of data; network, database, application access and security; network and systems monitoring; manual processing controls; and application change management.

Our company has a proactive philosophy and a ‘hands-on’ operating style that emphasizes the responsibility and ownership of work by individuals.”

The company plans to make the SOC 1 audit report available to any clients or potential clients that wish to review the specific controls tested, including the results of testing by the audit firm. Sandy Alexander will maintain its vigilance regarding operating excellence through continuous improvement of its quality management procedures. The company has already begun the audit process for SOC 2 and HIPAA, and expects to be compliant by September 2015.
