EO Johnson Completes MSP Verify Certification with SOC 2 Type 2 Audit

EO Johnson Business Technolgies has successfully completed the MSPAlliance’s MSP Verify Program (MSPCV) certification and SOC 2 Type 2 audit. The MSPCV is based on the 10 control objectives of the Unified Certification Standard for Cloud & MSPs (UCS) and is the oldest certification program for cloud computing and managed services providers. EO Johnson’s SOC 2 Type 2 audit was based on the UCS as well as the Trust Services Criteria for Security and the Additional Criteria for Availability and Confidentiality (TSP section 100A – 2017).

These audits come with four written reports with the entire process documented, validated, and signed by a third-party accounting firm. The MSPCV has been reviewed by governmental agencies and regulatory bodies across the globe and is used and accepted on five continents around the world. Only 2% of managed service providers globally have these reports.

"The MSPCV certification is a rigorous certification process that benchmarks and verifies the quality of the company providing cloud and/or managed services,” said Charles Weaver, MSPAlliance CEO. "We are very proud to have EO Johnson as a member of this elite community of cloud and MSPs.”

The UCS consists of 10 control objectives and underlying controls that together establish the foundation of a successful managed services (and cloud computing) practice.

Customers who select a company that is part of the MSPCV can also rest assured that their IT solution provider has met and exceeded the following standards dealing with:

• Objective 1: Governance,
• Objective 2: Policies and Procedures,
• Objective 3: Confidentiality and Privacy,
• Objective 4: Change Management,
• Objective 5: Service Operations Management,
• Objective 6: Information Security,
• Objective 7: Data Management,
• Objective 8: Physical Security,
• Objective 9: Billing and Reporting, and
• Objective 10: Corporate Health.

EO Johnson’s Cyber Verify Certification is level 3 – the highest level available.

Locknet Managed IT, our MSP business, has been SOC 2 Type 2 audited since 2015,” stated Mary Jo Johnson, Owner of EO Johnson Business Technologies. “This year’s SOC 2 Type 2 audit of our entire organization reassures clients in every area of our business that we value information security as much as they do.”
