People buy SAS 70 compliant anything just because it's the latest buzzword, kind of like PCI compliance. Jeff On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 7:52 PM, John Curran <jcurran@istaff.org> wrote:

Hi,
I would really appreciate any recommendations for SAS70 Type II compliant colocation providers in Chicago, IL
Andy -
As an FYI, SAS 70 Type II compliance means whatever that provider's "SAS 70 Type II" audit document states for controls, i.e. there is no specific requirements associated with SAS 70 Type II, only that you publish a documented set of management and security controls and then are audited for compliance against that list. That may not be realized by the folks who've sent you to go get SAS 70 Type II compliant hosting, but is something that you probably want to keep in mind since little items like generators and door locks aren't necessarily included.
