NewCloud Networks is now a HIPAA Compliant Cloud Services Provider!

Check this out!

 Aug. 27, 2013 - DENVER -- NewCloud Networks, a national Cloud Services Provider today announced that it has obtained HIPAA Certification for its data centers. By becoming a HIPAA compliant provider, NewCloud is now able to open its doors to healthcare providers across the country by offering secure hosting of Personal Health Information (PHI).The process of becoming a HIPAA compliant data center involved a third party evaluation of NewCloud’s data center infrastructure, security policies and internal operations.

For more information, see www.newcloudnetworks.com/compliance-and-certifications.html

To ensure the safety of PHI in the NewCloud data center the infrastructure must follow the code of Federal Regulation (CFR) set forth by HIPAA inspectors. The data center is built with best of breed components by reputable vendors such as Cisco, Juniper and F5. The infrastructure is protected by secure firewalls, preventing unauthorized access to protected files. Annual risk analysis assessments must be performed by NewCloud to maintain compliance.

NewCloud has appointed Jim Byrnes, Vice President of Engineering as the security official responsible for maintaining the standards required for HIPAA compliance. Byrnes is a network engineer with over 20 years’ experience in data security.

Covered Entities – healthcare companies looking to host their data in a HIPAA compliant facility – are responsible for implementing policies and procedures in regards to their data in order to safely transmit PHI to and from the data center. These measures include the use of AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and SSL certificates to prevent unauthorized connections. “The level of compliance that NewCloud has attained ensures that our infrastructure, internal policies, and security procedures as a data center are appropriate for the hosting of medical data. Healthcare providers have to ensure that they are in compliance with HIPAA standards when it comes to their own data practices,” says Byrnes. “It’s a joint effort but it’s far more cost effective for a healthcare provider to comply with HIPAA standards for their data and then host it in a compliant facility than it would be for them to purchase and maintain the infrastructure on their own.”

What Cloud Computing Means for College Applicants.

"The notion that an institution’s digital presence is increasingly viewed as a differentiator by prospective students should be taken very seriously. Perception goes well beyond the glitz of fancy websites: students look for evidence that an institution “gets it” by presenting self-service and informational opportunities that compare favorably with other virtual experiences."
