What's more, HEIT does it all with an infrastructure that passes the same rigorous auditing that would be required of any of its individual customers. The organization adheres to FFIEC guidelines, standards such as SAS70 typeII and ISO27001, and managed service provider standards such as Cisco Master MSP and MSPAlliance Master MSP.
