Washingtoner/10106457

PLANO, Texas - Washingtoner -- Plano, Texas – BEAR Technologies, a Managed Service Provider, today announced that it has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, performed by KirkpatrickPrice. This attestation provides evidence that BEAR Technologies 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 BEAR Technologies controls to meet the standards for these criteria.

"A SOC 2 Type II report is the most comprehensive certification within the Systems and Organization Controls protocol" said Frey Petermeier, Directory of Architecture & Engineering at BEAR. "We are proud of this accreditation because it is independent proof that our systems are designed to keep our clients' sensitive data secure and that we do what we say from a process perspective.  This accomplishment is an endorsement of BEAR's ongoing commitment to technology and our clients."
