August 30 2016 - 7:00AM
Business Wire
CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of
secure, reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection
solutions across the U.S., today announced it has successfully
completed the following annual examinations for the colocation
services offered across its platform of 16 operating multi-tenant
data centers:
- Service Organization Control (SOC) 2
Type 2
- Statement on Standards for Attestation
Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 (SOC 1) Type 2
- International Organization for
Standardization certification (ISO 27001)
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data
Security Standard (DSS)
- Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) validation
The SOC 1 and SOC 2 examinations are attestation standards
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA). SOC 2 is measured using a standardized set of criteria,
requirements, and controls; whereas, SOC 1 is measured against
company-defined control objectives and underlying controls. The
examinations provide CoreSite customers with the assurance of
corporate controls, including controls relating to security,
reliability, environmental compliance, and operational excellence.
Companies with compliance requirements may require SOC 1 or SOC 2
examination reports, including publicly traded enterprises,
financial firms, and healthcare organizations.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard that
outlines the requirements for constructing a risk-based framework
to initiate, implement, maintain, and manage information security
within an organization. The ISO 27001 certification, one of the
most stringent certifications for information security controls,
confirms that specified information security controls and other
forms of risk treatment are in place to detect and defend against
potential data system vulnerabilities. The certification also
ensures that the information security controls continue to meet
security needs on an ongoing basis. The scope of the ISO 27001
certification is applicable to the information security management
system (ISMS) supporting CoreSite’s provision and operation of 24x7
colocation services for its customers, and covers both its
corporate policies and procedures as well as those of all of its
operating data centers.
The PCI DSS is a comprehensive set of standards that require
merchants and service providers that maintain or host systems that
store, process, or transmit customer payment-card data to adhere to
strict information security controls and processes. As a provider
of data center colocation services, CoreSite has proactively met
the relevant requirements for its business in support of the PCI
compliance needs of its customers.
HIPAA requires that covered entities take strong measures to
protect the privacy and security of health information. By
attaining HIPAA validation, CoreSite provides assurance to
healthcare providers and other related enterprises that its
national platform of multi-tenant data centers conforms to a high
standard of data security and provides a secure environment for
customers’ sensitive and confidential data.
CoreSite’s numerous data center controls support its diverse
communities of interest in meeting a wide variety of United States
regulatory requirements, such as Federal Information Security
Management Act (FISMA). Working with its current compliance
initiatives and specific customer needs, CoreSite has enabled its
customers to achieve a high level of certification within
CoreSite’s national platform of network-dense, cloud-enabled
multi-tenant data centers in all of these areas. In addition, the
annual processes to successfully complete these compliance
initiatives underscore CoreSite’s strong commitment to operational
excellence across the organization.
All of the above examinations were conducted by Schellman &
Company, LLC, an independent CPA and Qualified Security Assessor
(QSA) firm.
