The audit, conducted by Deloitte & Touche, confirms that i/o Data Centers' controls have been suitably designed and tested to meet the needs of its clients.

The Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS 70) is one of the most stringent auditing standards for service companies. SAS 70 was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for service providers who wish to prove a high level of control effectiveness to independent auditors, and has become one of the most widely recognized auditing standards for service companies.
