LONDON, August 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

The global e-Invoicing network continues to adhere to ISAE 3402 and ISO 27001 frameworks 

Tungsten Network, the global trading network built on OB10 e-Invoicing, has received internationally recognised endorsement for its best-in-class security credentials and operational controls.

Independent auditors recently completed a thorough assessment of Tungsten Network's internal controls and concluded that they adhere to the ISAE 3402 framework, a global assurance standard that verifies whether a service organisation has appropriate and robust operational controls in place.

External auditors have also successfully completed an ISO 27001 surveillance audit to assess the management and control of information security.

"These third-party audits and independent verifications help our customers to trade with confidence. They confirm that our network meets the highest security standards and verify that our internal controls are well-designed and effective."

"The renewal of these internationally recognised security and reporting frameworks sends a clear message to our clients," says Lincoln Jopp, Tungsten Group COO. "Tungsten Network continues to provide world-leading security to the world's leading organisations."
