FreeWheel Technology Is Positively Certifiable

Products Renew MRC Accreditation and Earn SAS 70 Type II Certification

Adhering to industry standards is one thing, but participating in year-long audits conducted by world-class companies to receive independent certifications is quite another.  In early 2010, our flagship product, Monetization Rights Management® (MRM) received its first accreditation from the Media Rating Council and our SAS 70 Type I process audit.
 
Today we are announcing that both MRM and its custom reporting extension product, MRM Analytics (MRMA), were just given continued Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation, as well as the SAS 70 Type II certification.
 
So, what the heck are those?
 
Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation means MRM and MRMA both comply with the MRC’s published standards and the IAB’s “Advertising Impression Counting Guidelines.” 
 
The SAS 70 Type II standard, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) evaluates a service organization’s controls and procedure over information technology for at least six months (in our case, nine months).  The result of this evaluation can be varied, but we received the certification with “no exception” – an exemplary result.
 
So, what? 
 
For us, this just reinforces our unyielding commitment to operational and technical excellence.  We realize that to successfully manage video advertising businesses for the largest media companies, durable internal controls are critical.  These certifications offer internationally-recognized, third-party assurance that our technology and operations process is secure, stable, and accurate.
 
Since our earliest days, we have built our systems to ensure that they adhere to the toughest standards available.  This is proof we’ve succeeded.
