PALO ALTO, Calif. – October 16, 2001–Responsys, Inc., a pioneer in optimized interactive marketing solutions, today announced that the company has been awarded SysTrust™ CyberProcess Certification™ as a result of a rigorous third-party examination performed by Ernst & Young LLP.
This third-party certification provides reasonable assurance to Responsys customers that Responsys has established the necessary and appropriate processes, procedures, controls and infrastructure to meet service level agreement requirements in the areas of availability, security and maintainability. The examination was based on the SysTrust Principles and Criteria in these areas established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA).

Responsys is proud to be the only company in our category to achieve SysTrust CyberProcess Certification.”
