Independent Audit Verifies Net Friends’ Internal Controls & Processes
Net Friends, Inc., a North Carolina-based Managed Services Provider (MSP), today announced it has completed its fifth annual SOC 2 Type II audit, conducted by KirkpatrickPrice. This comprehensive examination of Net Friends’ internal controls and processes reaffirms its unwavering commitment to operational excellence, robust security, and the highest standards for compliance.
The SOC 2 audit serves as an independent validation of a service organization’s adherence to stringent information security standards set forth by the AICPA. Throughout the audit period, controls related to security, availability, and confidentiality are thoroughly evaluated by a third party. KirkpatrickPrice’s comprehensive Type II System and Organization Controls Report completed this month confirms the effectiveness of Net Friends’ controls, affirming their alignment with the AICPA’s criteria for trust services.
“After five consecutive years of voluntary SOC 2 Type II audits, we remain steadfast in raising our security standards with the ever-evolving demands of the business world,” stated John Snyder, CEO of Net Friends. “The rigorous process has been instrumental in guiding our continuous improvement efforts. Each audit cycle presents an opportunity for us to refine our controls and elevate our standards further, ultimately enhancing the trust and confidence our clients place in us.”
“Net Friends steadfast dedication to security and compliance is commendable, particularly in their continued integration of the Security Trust Services criteria,” remarked Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “This commitment, evident through their fifth consecutive SOC 2 audit, reinforces their position as a trusted service organization capable of delivering robust and reliable managed services.”
