IT-Lifeline Earns Rigorous SAS 70 Type II Certification

Audit Testing Results Prove Customer Data and Operations Security; SOX
Compliance

SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- IT-Lifeline, the Northwest's leading
provider of Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity solutions for small and
medium sized businesses, is now certified SAS 70 Type II compliant.
Prospective and existing IT-Lifeline customers can rest assured, without
performing extensive audit inquiries themselves, that IT-Lifeline processes,
facilities, and employees adhere to the highest security and control
standards.

Preparation for SAS 70 Type II credentials continued over a 10 month period
and concluded during a successful week-long audit in late July, 2009. Because
of the effort and resources involved--prescribed levels of data security and
redundancy and personnel controls--SAS 70 Type II certification is usually
undertaken only by large service providers as a result of large customer
requirements. With this high degree of oversight, IT-Lifeline delivers to its
Northwest customers the same superior data and operational security as
enterprise level corporations.

"Having our Type II SAS 70 report demonstrates that we have been meticulously
examined and tested, and as a result we have been judged compliant for
safeguards and controls for hosting and processing critical data," said Jim
Sandford, Chief Operating Officer for the company. "Our existing customers
are further validated in their decision to have IT-Lifeline address their
critical Business Continuity needs. For those prospects who consider SAS 70
Type II indispensable, we're an even more competitive Business Recovery and
Continuity alternative."

SAS 70 requirements include reporting on firewall configuration and access,
database access, data transmission, data backup and recovery, application
security and product development and strict staff and visitor access
guidelines. A Type II report includes tests of operating performance and is
in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.
