Data Center Knowledge, a leading online source of daily news and analysis about the data center industry, today published “Why Data Centers Need SSAE 16”, an article by Chris Schellman, President of BrightLine.
The article is a response to the persistent myth that SSAE 16 is not applicable to data center and colocation providers. Relying on extensive technical supporting citations, Mr. Schellman presents the definitive argument that SSAE 16 is indeed applicable to traditional data center and colocation services.
“Perpetuators of this myth are usually not CPAs and are always presenting a personal point of view.” said Chris Schellman. “The problem is that their opinion is wrong and it was time for a CPA experienced with SSAE 16 to end the debate.”
Chris Schellman is a licensed CPA, CISSP and PCI QSA. His expertise is derived from contributions to nearly 1,000 SSAE 16 / SAS 70 examinations.
