Atlanta,
GA, USA -- T5 Data Centers™ (http://www.t5datacenters.com),
innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable and highly
reliable computing support environments, today announced that its
T5@Atlanta and T5@LA data centers have been certified compliant with
the latest credit card data security standards and determined to be
compliant with healthcare regulatory standards. T5 has received
third-party attestations for compliance with the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and the
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.
Compliance
extends to T5's colocation services as well as its wholesale data
center services and gives T5 a competitive advantage when bidding for
healthcare and transaction-driven contracts, especially for data
center customers since certification for wholesale data centers is
less common. To qualify, T5 worked with independent auditors to
verify that all the necessary physical and network security
components were in place.
"We
are seeing more RFPs from healthcare service providers, insurance
companies, e-commerce companies, and financial institutions that need
assurance that our facilities comply with the latest security
standards," said Frank Lyles, Chief Business Officer for T5 Data
Centers. "We elected to use a third-party auditor so our
customers could be confident in our standards compliance, and so we
could expand security testing beyond the scope of the standards. I am
pleased to say that our physical and network security procedures were
tested and found to meet or exceed the rigor of the applicable
standards."
The
HIPAA Security Rule is a national standard to protect patient medical
records and personal health information. It requires appropriate
safeguards to protect personal health information, including
standards for the safe handling of patient data. The HITECH standard
promotes the adoption of health information technology, including the
secure electronic transmission of health information. PCI-DSS is a
set of industry security standards that ensures that all companies
that accept, process, store, and/or transmit credit card information,
maintain a secure environment.
