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.
