Mainstream Technologies has achieved certification under the Unified Certification Standard for Cloud and Managed Service Providers (UCS), a certification standard set by the MSPAlliance.

The UCS is a rigorous audit and certification process, specifically designed to provide clients seeking cloud and managed services the assurance that the provider they select meets the highest standards of the industry.

Mainstream is the first service provider in the world to receive certification under this new set of standards.

What Is the UCS Process?

UCS certification is based on a wide range of criteria used to benchmark IT solution providers. An independent auditor examines a company's practices and procedures to verify that they meet or exceed standards for:

• Physical & Virtual Security
• Business & Financial stability
• The company has taken reasonable steps to assure that the client's IT needs will be safely and professionally addressed
• The company is under constant external review from the MSPAlliance and the IT profession to continually maintain and improve standards of care of excellence

What Does It Mean?

What does this mean to Mainstream clients? It means that our clients can rest assured that the managed IT services Mainstream provides are held to the highest industry standards for security and service.

We encourage all of our clients as well as any company seeking managed services or cloud services to learn about the UCS standard and examine the independent auditor's report on Mainstream.
