OVH Dedicated Cloud Confirmed As SOC 1 (SSAE 16 And ISAE 3402) & SOC 2 Type II Compliant

OVH Group’s Dedicated Cloud offering has been recently recognized as being in compliance with the international SOC 1 (SSAE 16 and ISAE 3402) and SOC 2 type II standards. While the SOC 1 and 2 type I compliance in 2014 pertained to putting in place procedures and controls to assure security and high availability of the Dedicated Cloud service, SOC 1 and SOC 2 type II are focused on the effectiveness and rigor of these procedures and controls.

An audit was conducted over a six month period, by the independent firm KPMG, concerning the Dedicated Cloud service in 4 of the group’s datacenters: 3 in France and 1 in Canada. The auditors evaluated and validated the controls managed by the group, on the following points:

  • security policies
  • risk assessment and incident management
  • physical and logical access
  • service availability
  • data confidentiality and integrity

The group continues its overall certification strategy to have its services recognized as conforming to best practices and international standards.
