What are customers saying about STARWatch?
“As a CPA firm that specializes in auditing and assessing regulated entities and technology providers, it is imperative that companies manage and monitor the compliance activities of their dependent providers. This has particular meaning for the new SSAE 18 standard which requires organizations to focus even more attention on their sub-service organizations as well [as] overall best practices for doing so across compliance domains like PCI, ISO 27001, and more. I like the fact that STARWatch not only gives the user a manner to analyze cloud provider information in a non-spreadsheet, but to also build workflow and commentary around the assertions. We look forward to seeing the continued advancement of this platform in the months ahead.”
