LightEdge boosts cloud and data center compliance position with multiple certification additions
Secure cloud and colocation provider LightEdge has renewed 10 compliance certifications and added three new certifications with the aim of strengthening its cloud, data center, and managed services compliance.
One of the new certification additions is ISO 27701, an international standard for privacy information management, for companies that need to adhere to strict privacy requirements.
LightEdge’s 10 recertifications include: HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 20000, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3.
The three new certifications are for CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services), ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), and ISO 27701, an extension of the information security management standard ISO 27001 for privacy.
The company notes that the certifications apply across all 11 tier III data center facilities in LightEdge’s nationwide network and managed services.
“This annual certification process is a rigorous undertaking and one we take very seriously,” says Michael Hannan, chief information officer for LightEdge.
“Most of our customers need compliance they can trust from partners they can trust, so we happily invest the time and resources necessary each year to maintain and grow our certifications.”
Two of the new certifications, CJIS and ITAR, support customers working within the government sector, including the Department of Defense, FBI, and other law enforcement agencies. Additionally, ISO 27701 is a welcome addition to help support clients in navigating growing international privacy requirements.
LightEdge is certified in the following recognized standards: HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 20000-1, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3, CJIS, ITAR, and ISO 27701.
Additionally, LightEdge is one of 14 organizations globally that are part of the HITRUST Shared Responsibility and Inheritance Program. The program allows customers to inherit relevant LightEdge controls for their own HITRUST compliance standards.
