To further optimize compliance efforts, those companies are also increasingly requesting that other service organizations wishing to do business with them first produce a SAS 70 Type II report. For service organizations, those trends make the SAS 70 Type II report a client retention issue, and a new business development tool. Not conducting a SAS 70 audit could present current and future risks. If a service organization has not conducted a SAS 70 type II audit, it should consider undertaking one now. That consideration begins with understanding the general requirements of SAS 70.
