“The SSAE 16 audit and SOC 1 certification reaffirms our company-s commitment to meet the highest standards for security and availability, while making sure all of the appropriate controls and safeguards are firmly in place,” said Clint Harder, vice president of Product Strategy for TDS HMS. “The audits are third party validation that we deliver what we promise, and ensure that our customers- equipment and data is available, secure, and managed in-line with industry best practices.”
