Store Enterprise™ and Store Advantage™ set self storage industry standard in security compliance for the eighth consecutive year
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF., March 24, 2015 —Yardi announced today that it has completed an examination of its security and internal controls for 2014 and has received its final SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2 report for its Store Enterprise and Store Advantage applications. Formerly known as SAS 70, SOC 1 is published by the AICPA (American Institute of CPAs®) under the attestation standard SSAE 16 and involves undergoing an examination of policies, operating procedures and controls related to financial reporting of user entities by an independent auditor to objectively validate that the service organization meets its declared control objectives.
Store Enterprise and Store Advantage are the only management software solutions in the self storage industry to obtain SOC 1 Type 2 compliance for eight consecutive years.
“We take our clients’ needs very seriously and go above and beyond basic requirements to guarantee the safety and security of our systems and their data,” said James Hafen, self storage industry principal at Yardi. “Our largest customers include publicly traded REITs, and they rely on our SOC 1 compliance to ensure that the mission-critical management systems they employ to operate their businesses are absolutely sound.”
Hafen added: “Our compliance efforts ultimately benefit all of our customers, not just the larger players. Compliance with this standard requires stringent internal policies related to software development and storing and accessing data and related hardware. As a result of our commitment, all customers can rest assured that Yardi is doing everything it can to ensure their data and systems are secure.”
