Discovia Continues to Lead the Industry in Security with Recertifications
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 28, 2017 -- Discovia, a Lighthouse company and leading global provider of ediscovery services to corporations, law firms and government entities, has achieved ISO 27001 recertification for the next three years. This certification covers Discovia’s information security management system supporting electronic data discovery, forensic data collection and analysis, electronic data hosting, consulting, data processing and production services. The certification was performed by Schellman & Company, LLC, an ANAB and UKAS accredited Certification Body based in the United States. In addition, the company completed an assessment confirming that Discovia is compliant with applicable Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) security rules and breach reporting requirements.
“Data security is of the utmost importance to our customers,” said Christian Lawrence, founder and executive vice president at Discovia, a Lighthouse company. “These recertifications are a testament to our investment of time and money developing robust infrastructure and operational excellence in all things security. Our program features over 100 security controls, business continuity plans and experienced, well-trained employees committed to information security and data privacy best practices.”
ISO 27001 is a globally recognized standard for the establishment and certification of an information security management system. The standard specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented ISMS within the context of the organization’s overall business risks. It sets forth a risk-based approach that focuses on adequate and proportionate security controls that protect information assets and give confidence to interested parties.
HIPAA requires organizations engaged in handling electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) to implement the necessary systems, procedures, and policies to secure such information. In addition the HITECH Act includes provisions that require organizations that store ePHI to implement procedures to report any breach of unprotected ePHI.
