What does HIPAA AT 601 Compliance mean to me?
This compliance ensures to our customers, that Springs Hosting provides a high availability hosting environment to ensure ePHI accessibility as required. Springs Hosting provides a copy of our HROC (HIPAA Report on Compliance) under NDA.

If your company is storing any sensitive patient information or health records, the data center that hosts your data also needs to follow HIPAA compliance. Springs Hosting can providethe  physical, environmental, network and infrastructure security your business needs to protect patient information and meet HIPAA compliance standards. After completing a HIPAA audit by an independent service auditor, it was determined that Springs Hosting is 100% compliant, meaning that we can guarantee our facilities operate and implement HIPAA compliant controls and security measures.

An independent service auditor examined the policies and procedures and business processes in place at Springs Hosting from February 1, 2011 – January 31, 2012.  “The auditors spent a considerable amount of time inspecting our data center facility, learning about our procedures and interviewing Springs Hosting Management.”, said Jeremy Keefe, CIO  “Springs Hosting is proud to have successfully completed the SSAE 16 Type II audit.  The audit benefits many of our customers that are publicly traded companies and institutional organizations that must comply with additional security requirements. The SSAE 16 audit is also a helpful sales tool for our clients to use for their customers and can be useful for start-ups looking for venture capital, which often has security requirements.”

What is SSAE 16?

In 1992, the AICPA developed a set of guidelines for evaluating service organizations known as the SAS 70.  The SSAE 16 is an enhancement to the SAS 70 and went into effect in June of 2011.  The changes made to the standard will bring the US companies up to date with new international service organization reporting standards, the ISAE 3402.

A SSAE 16 report, also known as a SOC-1 (Service Organization Control) report, is beneficial to both the service organization and its clients because it demonstrates that the service organization has implemented effective control objects and activities.  The SSAE 16 report can aid the service organization’s clients in completing their own financial audits.

In the hosting and colocation industries, the SSAE 16 report is important for companies who are relying more and more on outsourced hosting and colocation services.  The SSAE 16 report allows hosting companies and data centers to complete one report that all their clients can use.

“Keeping your equipment’s built in time clocks sync’d and especially your network equipment can be crucial to maintaining a smooth operating network.” said Brian Korzen, Systems Administrator at Springs Hosting. “The new additions just give us one more thing to offer to our customers and are especially helpful to our customers utilizing CCTV equipment.”

Time is critical for transactions across computer networks. Many events on the network need accurate time to initiate and control processes, and complete transactions such as authentication. Accurate time for time stamps and log files is also very important for billing systems, network diagnostics, digital forensics, high-reliability databases and process analysis. Yet clocks in electronic devices are not designed for accuracy and can drift by more than an hour in a year. The solution is to always connect your network devices and systems to a server via network time protocol (NTP).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Springs Hosting Deploys New Windows Shared Hosting Servers Based on Enkompass by cPanel

Colorado Springs, CO; May 2nd, 2011, Springs Hosting, a leading provider of Managed IT Services for medium to large businesses, announced today that it has deployed Enkompass by cPanel and has officially added the Windows-based hosting product to its growing list of web and email hosting services.

In development for more than a year, Enkompass is built to run on Microsoft Windows Server® 2008 R2 and represents the latest additon to cPanel’s growing suite of web hosting control panels and automation solutions, which have previously focused exclusively on Linux – and FreeBSD – based servers.

“We’ve been working with several windows hosting platforms and selected Enkompass as our primary shared windows platform after several months of testing,” said Kelly Karnetsky of Springs Hosting.  “Because our customers are already familiar with the cPanel/WHM interface there is only a slight learning curve for customers that require windows hosting for ASP.NET applications and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.  We would like to thank all of our beta testers for their time and solid testing of Enkompass which has profoundly contributed to its successful launch by Springs Hosting!”

“Microsoft has shown a strong commitment to the hosting industry over the past several years,” said cPanel CEO J. Nick Koston. “Our Windows development team feels that Microsoft IIS7 offers a robust, high-performance web server, with increased security, that the industry will quickly adopt. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and IIS7, with its modern architecture and support for legacy products was the natural starting point for our expanded product offering.”
