SSAE 16 SOC3
-
Hi folks,
We are UK based. Never heard of SSAE 16 SOC3. A client has asked for our latest report - of course, we don't have one.
Reading up on this, it seems that SSAE is an American standard, not UK. Also, even though American, this also looks to not be a requirement, just guidance... is this the case?
Also, seems to only be related to those offering cloud services. So, Amazon AWS, Azure, Rackspace etc. We don't offer cloud services. We offer a simple subscription site to get content. We don't offer ability to run VMs, or use a mail app, in IaaS, SaaS etc...
Does this apply to us? Any information would be appreciated. We are not a datacenter. We are not an 'IT Service Provider'.
Thanks,

It's an auditing standard for accounting, should not be related to any specific service. It's not an IT thing.

It is purely American, that's for certain.
