The attestation engagement report, conducted by the independent CPA firm
Schellman & Company, LLC, confirms that Business Wire has met the
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants [AICPA] Trust Services Principles related to security.
BW Connect is Business Wire's proprietary web-based order-entry system;
HQ provides web-hosting services for online newsrooms, and investor
relations hubs for publicly-traded companies.
The examination, conducted during the review period February 1, 2017
through July 31, 2017, focused on Business Wire adherence to the Trust
Service Principle/Security: the system in place to protect against
unauthorized access, use, or modification to meet the entity's
commitments and system requirements.
Business Wire previously received SOC 2 attestation engagement reports
in September 2014, and February 2017.
The AICPA created the SOC guidelines to provide an authoritative and
independent benchmark for service organizations to demonstrate
implementation of proper control procedures and practices. Type 2
reports include detailed testing of operational effectiveness of the
described systems' security controls.
Schellman & Company, LLC is a global provider of assurance and
compliance services.
