Compliance Cloud from EasyStreet Delivers Tailored Solutions
Portland, OR (PRWEB) November 19, 2014 -- EasyStreet® Inc. increases momentum for its Compliance Cloud which allows clients to securely transact business while meeting industry-specific regulatory and governance requirements. In light of increasing attacks on private information and customer data, the requirement for managed security and compliance is at an all time high.
The EasyStreet Compliance Cloud offers many options and successfully passes systematic internal and third party audits for the following standards:
- HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- HITECH - Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health
- PCI DSS - Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
- SSAE 16 - Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements
Earlier this year, EasyStreet became the first managed service provider in Oregon to hold a PCI DSS Report on Compliance, or ROC. EasyStreet achieved the highest certification, or PCI DSS Level 1, designated for any service provider that stores, processes and/or transmits over 300,000 transactions annually. The controls and security measures implemented are designed to prevent information loss that may lead to credit card fraud, identity theft or other data crimes. PCI DSS applies to all organizations which hold, process, or exchange cardholder information.
In addition, clients can use the EasyStreet Compliance Cloud to power information processing systems that must operate in HIPAA and HITECH compliance. Clients are provided with best practices on how to encrypt and protect data. Covered Entities (CE) and their Business Associates (BA) subject to U.S. HIPAA can leverage the secure EasyStreet Compliance Cloud to process, maintain, and store protected health information. EasyStreet helps protect clients and extends responsibility by signing Business Associate Agreements (BAA).
The EasyStreet Compliance Cloud offers a secure environment, which has the added advantage of being transparent so clients can trust and verify that EasyStreet is indeed delivering the necessary compliant environments.
