Independent Audit Verifies SterlingRisk’s Internal Controls and Processes
Woodbury, NY, January 25, 2023 — SterlingRisk, a top national insurance broker, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, performed by KirkpatrickPrice. This attestation provides evidence that SterlingRisk has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its clients by demonstrating that they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
A SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA. During the audit, a service organization’s non-financial reporting controls as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system are tested. The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of SterlingRisk’s controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
“Our successful completion of this year’s SOC audit is yet another testament to our commitment to maintaining the highest security and compliance standards in the industry, and ensuring that our clients’ data is processed and stored with the care and respect that it deserves. Our annual SOC audit is a key piece in our overall security and compliance strategy, and we are very happy to have wrapped up another positive and productive engagement with our auditors.”
— Mike Tampone, Chief Technology Officer
“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “SterlingRisk delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on SterlingRisk’s controls.”
