Certifications and Compliance
Audited, Secure and Compliant
SSAE 18
Colocation Northwest possesses an SSAE 18 certification for our data centers and operations.
Short for Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 16, SSAE 18 was created by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A successful audit attests to the design and effectiveness of a service provider's controls over anything relevant to their customers' financial and security reporting.
Because publicly traded companies use SSAE 18 to comply with Sarbanes–Oxley or SOX, this certification is widely used by both private and publicly traded organizations to assess the quality of new vendors.

TWIC
The Transportation Worker Identification Credential, also known as TWIC®, is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need access to secure areas of the nation's maritime facilities and vessels. Our proximity to maritime assets make this credential valuable to our employees with potential interaction in our nation's government designated sites such as military installations, docks, and other sensitive areas. TSA conducts a security threat assessment (background check) to determine a person's eligibility and issues the credential.
