Overview
As federal regulations continue to mount, businesses across every
industry face significant challenges to meet regulatory compliance
requirements and deadlines. These regulations have created tremendous
pressure and urgency for business to capture, store, protect and
make accessible an increasingly large amount of data, stored in
an ever growing array of formats. For many of these regulations,
the penalties for non-compliance are just too great to risk – from
fines to imprisonment for company executives and other employees.
Cyber Continuity Center helps businesses across a wide range of
industries mitigate their risks and reduce the complexity of regulatory
compliance. A suite of data protection services make it easy to
stay compliant, while improving the quality and cost-effectiveness
of protecting your data and making it accessible when and where
it is needed. Our solutions address meet or exceed many of the requirements
imposed by regulations such as:
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Cyber Continuity Center can play a major role in ensuring Sarbanes-Oxley
Act (Sarbox) compliance, while dramatically increasing the security
and availability of clients’ mission-critical data. With our managed
storage services, we can centralize the protection of company-wide
data to our “Best Practices” secure, off-site storage facility
and ensure it is handled, secured and accessed in strict accordance
with U.S. government regulations. With multi-level security and
multi-level data storage architectures, client data will be protected
throughout its lifecycle, yet still made available to the client
– quickly – using secure on-line restore tools.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act establishes new requirements for the protection,
retention, security, accessibility and destruction of financial
records. Experts and analysts agree that these reporting requirements
and controls apply to any and all processes, procedures, applications,
systems and data involved in calculating and reporting on an organization’s
financial information. In other words, a company needs to have
a documented set of internal rules that control how data is generated,
manipulated, recorded and reported. Because financial transactions
and information are heavily dependent on technology, your storage
infrastructure is an integral part of a comprehensive Sarbox compliance
strategy.
HIPAA
Cyber Continuity Center helps healthcare organizations in the
United States – from hospitals and emergency response to primary
care physicians and insurance companies – ensure Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance with our
suite of data protection services. With remote and data center-based
data protection services. We simplify data management, improve
information security and accessibility, and enable the client
to focus resources on improving patient services and the quality
of healthcare.
HIPAA was established to ensure the portability of healthcare
coverage to different plans, establish uniform standards for security
and privacy, and improve efficiency of sharing health information
among different healthcare entities. HIPAA regulations apply to
all organizations that transmit health information in electronic
form such as health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and healthcare
providers. It requires these companies to make significant changes
to their technology processes to ensure the confidentiality, integrity
and availability of patient health records and protect this information
against threats or security breaches.
SEC-17a
Emails, memos and other internal communications are not only
an integral part of a company’s productivity, but an essential
proof point to defend against litigation or prove wrong-doing.
Cyber Continuity Center helps companies keep up with the growing
use and importance of communications such as email with a data
protection, retention and restore solution that keeps this information
safe and accessible, as required by the Securities and Exchange
Act Rules 17a-3, 4 (17 CFR 240.17a-3, 4) of the United States.
Under SEC-17a, broker-dealers are required to retain sent and
received communications, including interoffice memos, emails,
sales training manuals, advertisements, and account records for
specified periods of time. As the amount of these communications
continues to escalate and as the requirements for retention periods,
security and accessibility continue to climb, keeping pace with
these requirements is a daunting challenge.
SAS 70
Cyber Continuity Center’s portfolio of data protection, business
continuity, and regulatory compliance services meet the Statement
on Auditing Standards No. 70 Type II (SAS 70), an internationally
recognized auditing standard developed by the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
