SSAE 16 Sample Clauses
The SSAE 16 clause refers to a requirement that service organizations provide a Service Organization Control (SOC) report, specifically under the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16. This clause typically obligates the service provider to undergo an independent audit of its internal controls over financial reporting and to furnish the resulting SOC 1 report to the client. By requiring this report, the clause ensures that clients can assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the service provider’s controls, thereby managing risk and supporting compliance with regulatory or audit requirements.
