From working at a company that has to comply with the dreaded SOx controls, it's perfectly acceptable to use a service such as this providing all the key controls are met by the 3rd party and the evidence equired by the control is available to the auditors.

They are merely protecting the investment they have made in you and securing your investment in them.
But after all that.. it usually boils down to what your gut feeling is. Barring unforseen circumstances, you can usually trust it...
