GEP, a leading global provider of procurement software and services focused exclusively on procurement, today announced that it has undergone a Service Organization Control 2SM examination, resulting in a CPA’s report stating that management of GEP maintained effective controls over Trust Services Principles and Criteria for Security and Availability of its procurement technology, consulting and outsourcing solutions. The engagement was performed by Princeton Audit Group, Inc., a leading auditing firm specializing in SSAE 16 and other IT audits.
GEP has consistently led the e-procurement technology sector in securing certification for its processes and procedures, such as SAS 16 and now SSAE 16 SOC 2 certifications.
A SOC 2SM report is an internal control report on the technology services provided by a service organization to its customers and provides valuable information that existing and potential customers of the service organization need to assess and address the risks associated with an outsourced service.
The report is designed to meet the needs of existing or potential customers who need assurance about the effectiveness of controls at a service organization that are relevant to the security, availability, of the system used by the service organization to process customers’ information.
Current and prospective customers interested in a copy of the SOC 2SM report may contact Manisha Thakur, senior manager, technology, at audit@gep.com.
