The healthcare industry is facing unprecedented challenges as it evolves. New legislation and advances in technology are leading to obstacles and opportunities for healthcare organizations – from the need to digitize and secure patient medical records, to the increasing consumer interest in personal fitness and wellness tracking devices—all with the expectation that this information be available 24/7.

As the medical ecosystem continues to evolve, the IT infrastructure that supports it can no longer be confined to IT rooms in the basements of hospitals. That’s why data center service providers and communications networks are playing an increasingly important role in helping healthcare providers find new ways to leverage technology that improves patient care while controlling costs.

Network Solutions Group is able to provide mission critical reliability for the healthcare ecosystem, via its portfolio of strategically created partnerships with Telx, Fusion Networks and iMedicWare. Through these partnerships, Network Solutions Group is able to meet today’s highest compliance standards in both hosting and IT managed services across the U.S. We do so with a flexible, future-proof infrastructure.

NETWORK SOLUTIONS GROUP COMPLIANCE

Levels and types of compliance can vary dramatically depending on industry. By partnering with Telx and Fusion Networks, Network Solutions Group is able to meet the AICPA set of standards. These standards are divided into three SOC types. PCI, DDS and HIPAA standards have become another widely incorporated compliance standard among their specific industries.

Each year, organizations are faced with increasing pressures to better secure their data. These pressures are not only coming from internal management, but also from external sources such as auditors, trading partners, credit card companies and governmental agencies.

The U.S. federal government and most state governments are now requiring organizations to have strict security mechanisms in place for protecting consumer personal information. Failure to do so can often result in stiff penalties. Leading the way in 2002, the state of California enacted a bill named Senate Bill 1386 which has strict consumer protection rules for companies that do business in that state. Many other states have enacted similar laws.

Most of these laws require an individual to be timely notified when his or her personal information is compromised by a security breach (e.g. if a hacker gained access to an account database or if a tape backup was lost). This will allow the individual to take steps to protect himself or herself against identity theft. To see if your state or country has a similar law enacted, you can review one of the following web sites:

United States - http://www.ncsl.org/programs/lis/cip/priv/breach.htm

Canada - http://www.privcom.gc.ca/legislation/02_06_01_e.asp

The Payment Card Industry (PCI) has developed a data security standard for protecting cardholder information (e.g. credit card numbers). This standard encompasses a wide array of recommended security mechanisms, including firewalls, password policies, encryption and key management. Click here to view the PCI data security standards

The Sarbanes-Oxley legislation is wide ranging and establishes new or enhanced standards for all U.S. public companies and public accounting firms. As a result of this legislation, IT departments must place strict controls and mechanisms in place to provide for the security, accuracy and the reliability of the systems that manage and report financial data.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act or GLB Act, includes provisions to protect consumers’ personal financial information held by financial institutions. The GLB Act is administered and enforced by State and Federal agencies. Under the GLB Act, financial institutions must show proof of their efforts to protect their customers’ financial information.

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

If you need to meet Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance standards, NSG can provide the compliant and safe environment your data needs to meet financial record keeping and reporting regulations. Our SAS 70 and SSAE 16 audited NYC data centers follow industry-standardized processes in order to provide the security and the flexibility to custom-fit your organization’s needs. We go above and beyond SSAE 16 to offer SOC 2 compliant hosting in order to verify data center security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy to provide a secure and audited environment for your data and applications.

Not sure how to get SOX compliant hosting? Contact us, or Chat with our team now. For more information about the changing data center standards and what each report and audit means to your organization, read SAS 70, SSAE 16 and SOC Comparison. Request a quote for your SOX compliant hosting solution today.

The three SOX rules that affect data storage include the preservation and accuracy of electronic records, the recommended retention period for records storage (5 years), and the type of business records that must be stored, including all communications. The annual deadlines to meet financial reporting and certification mandates for financial statements require companies to follow a time-line.

NSG can save you time by hosting your data records in our SAS 70 audited data centers. SSAE 16, or SOC certified data centers ensure a high level of accountability to the documented processes, as verified by an independent auditor.
