Independent Audit Verifies Corodata’s Internal Controls and Processes. Corodata renews certification for the rigorous SSAE 18 Type II Audit every year. Federal regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require corporations to audit the internal controls of their suppliers, including those that provide technology services.

In accordance with SSAE 18 (Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements), developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), our SSAE 18 certification encompasses both SOC 1 and SOC 2 comprehensive retrospective audits and follow-up reports. These dual certifications within our SSAE 18 framework demonstrate our commitment to comprehensive internal controls and the highest standards of information security, providing our clients with the utmost confidence in our operations.

  • SOC 1 assesses the controls relevant to an entity’s financial reporting, ensuring the integrity of our financial systems and the protection of our clients’ financial data.
  • SOC 2 focuses on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

Our third-party opinion validates these controls and the tests we perform provide assurance regarding the managed solutions provided by Corodata.”

“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “Corodata delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on Corodata’s controls.”
