HOSTING Completes Rigorous HITRUST CSF Certification Proving Compliance With Strict Healthcare Data Security Standards

DENVER, Feb. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HOSTING, a leader in cloud computing and database services since 1997, has completed the rigorous third-party validation required to achieve the elite HITRUST CSF Certification attesting to its compliance with demanding healthcare data security and privacy standards.

Developed in collaboration with healthcare and information security professionals, the HITRUST CSF leverages nationally and internationally accepted standards, including ISO, NIST, PCI and HIPAA to ensure a comprehensive set of baseline security controls.

“Achieving the HITRUST CSF certification is rare in the hosting industry, and the bigger players in healthcare are starting to demand it,” said Trent Baker, Compliance Manager at Denver-based HOSTING. “We felt this certification was essential to demonstrating to our clients how serious we are about maintaining the absolute strictest standards of privacy and security.”

The examination that led to compliance with HITRUST CSF data security certification was administered by the professional IT compliance and audit staff at 360 Advanced, a national HITRUST CSF, Qualified Security Assessor and Certified Public Accountant firm based in St. Petersburg, FL.

“It is really about customer service. HITRUST is not a necessity. You don’t have to have it, and it was a challenging process that required a lot of hours. But by getting it, we show that we really care about our customers, want to do the right thing, and will go above and beyond for them,” commented Johan Hybinette, Chief Information Security Officer at HOSTING. Normally a six-month process, Hybinette said HOSTING achieved full HITRUST CSF compliance in four months.
