Plexus Systems Achieves SAS-70 Certification for Effective Data Management

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 6 -- Plexus Systems LLC, a provider of the first true on demand manufacturing performance system and creator of Plexus Online, has achieved a valued certification, known as Statement on Auditing Standards No. 70 (SAS-70) Type II.

Publicly held companies are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission's Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to prove that they have controls in place to ensure a secure environment for data. This rigorous third-party certification demonstrates that Plexus Systems can protect data in both physical and online environments.

"This is another major step in our drive to deliver operational excellence. Our customers need to know they can securely access their data anytime, anywhere," said Rob Beatty, Plexus Systems CEO. "It is a best practice that helps us provide the highest level of service and performance for our customers."

The independent examination, performed by Doeren Mayhew, found Plexus Systems' processes and systems are well documented, organized and controlled to meet SAS-70 requirements. The auditor's report is issued through guidance established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which puts the highest scrutiny on a company's controls and processes.
