Synygy Adherence to Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Standards Validated in Third-party Audit
Chester, Pa., March 3, 2008 – Synygy, Inc., a recognized authority on sales performance management, announced today that an external security audit firm has validated with a positive report that Synygy adheres to Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) standards in its software development, hosting, and process management activities.
The OWASP Foundation, a fully independent, not-for-profit entity, is highly-regarded for the framework and best practices it has established for developing secure applications, as well as guidelines for third-party OWASP reviewers. Following the OWASP prescribed methods and philosophy that conveys “achieving security involves all parts of an organization and its people, processes, and technology,” Wayne, Pa.-based Allied InfoSecurity conducted the comprehensive security review of Synygy´s applications, environment, and practices.
“On the heels of our SAS70 Type II certification and other recent third-party validations of Synygy´s practices, the OWASP validation makes clear that companies can, with the highest degree of assurance, turn to Synygy for secure and reliable on-demand solutions,” commented Mark A. Stiffler, president and CEO of Synygy. “The independent OWASP validation embodies the degree of thoughtful planning and consideration that we give all security-related matters.”
Synygy, a pioneer in the introduction of the on-demand, software-as-a-service delivery model and the first to deliver web-native software in the sales compensation and sales performance management marketplaces, built its global infrastructure and staff as a means to offer fully integrated solutions—including software, software hosting services, and process management services—all from a single vendor.
As a testament to the value that the market places on this comprehensive approach, many of the world´s largest life science, telecommunication, insurance, manufacturing, and business services companies rely on Synygy for their solutions, finding unique value in Synygy´s ability to both create complex applications and securely deliver them via an on-demand model, while also providing secure and reliable hosting and process management services.
