EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ, June 24, 2009 -- Amber Road, Inc., a leading provider of
Global Trade Management (GTM) solutions, today announced its successful
completion of a Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) Type II Audit.
The audit was performed by an independent auditing firm and included an in-depth
examination of the company's operating infrastructure for its GTM solutions. The
results of this audit demonstrate Amber Road's commitment to implementing and
maintaining a control environment that ensures that customer data is accurate
and secure.
Established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), a SAS 70 examination is
widely recognized because it represents that a service organization's internal
control activities that relate to an audit of the financial statements of its
customers have been examined. A Type II report not only includes the service
organization's description of controls, but also includes tests of operating
effectiveness of the service organization's controls
"In today's global economy,
service organizations must demonstrate that they have adequate controls and
safeguards when they host or process data belonging to their customers," said
Glenn Gorman, Vice President of Global Hosting, Amber Road. "Our GTM solutions
are currently deployed to over 14,000 users in 70 countries at some of the
world's leading retailers, manufacturers and logistics providers. The SAS 70
certification demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest quality
services to our customers and further validates the security and accuracy of
their global trade transactions."
Completion of the SAS 70 Type II
examination indicates that the processes, procedures and controls relating to
Amber Road's hosting operations have been formally evaluated and tested by an
independent accounting and auditing firm. The examination included the company's
established control objectives related to customer setup and ongoing
maintenance, change management, secure communications and data interfaces,
information security, operations monitoring and management, logical and physical
access, and data backup and restore.
Amber Road's GTM solutions are
delivered under a SaaS (software as a service) model from state-of-the-art data
centers which allow customers to reduce total cost of ownership, accelerate
implementation and minimize system support activities so that they can focus on
running their business.
