RPE Completed SOC 1 Type 2 Examination With 360 Advanced

Retail Process Engineering, LLC (RPE), a provider of cloud hosting, data center operations, systems management, and backup and recovery services, announced the completion of their 2020 SOC 1 Type 2 examination.

The effort reflects long-standing commitment to secure internal controls.

“RPE has been conducting compliance audits for more than a decade, with extremely positive results,” explained George DiBrango, director, RPE Data Center. “Although a compliance audit is not required, we want our clients to feel confident in the security of our services.”

Before selecting a data center, many organizations request proof of compliance to ensure secure handling of their data.

“RPE has had several prospective clients request a data security/compliance report as a condition of doing business,” noted DiBrango. “This has contributed to RPE securing new business, leading to several long-term client partnerships.“

To REP, the process is not just a competitive differentiator – it’s a way to provide clients with a higher level of service.

“We know that clients who use our cloud hosting and systems management services are entrusting their confidential data to us, and we strive to consistently maintain the highest security controls to protect that information through this annual audit,” explained Rob Henneke, president and CEO, RPE.

The company’s SOC 1 Type 2 examination focused on their internal controls over financial reporting, assessed over a period of time.

The examination was completed by the professional and independent third-party audit firm, 360 Advanced, Inc.

“360 Advanced stays up-to-date on all compliance standards, data security rules, and regulations, and uses this expertise to guide and assist companies like RPE to meet the highest standards,” explained DiBrango. “RPE has an established history with 360 Advanced and continues to work with the company as they are insightful in the process, responsive, and professional.“
