-- Demonstrates ongoing Commitment to
Operational Excellence and Customer Experience, Enabling Customers
to meet Industry Standard Compliance Requirements --
CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR), a premier provider of
secure, reliable, high-performance data center and interconnection
solutions in major U.S. metropolitan areas, today announced it has
successfully completed its annual compliance examinations for the
colocation services offered across 19 operating multi-tenant data
centers in its portfolio.
The completion of these annual examinations uniquely positions
CoreSite to provide its customers a consistent and comprehensive
solution to compliance standards as part of its overall customer
value proposition. This also demonstrates CoreSite’s ongoing
commitment to operational excellence and customer experience,
enabling its customers to meet industry standard compliance
requirements.
In addition to enterprise-class colocation infrastructure,
CoreSite provides controls over physical access and environmental
systems that house its customers’ critical data systems and
hardware.
Annual Examinations
CoreSite successfully completed the following annual
examinations:
- System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 Type 2
examination
- SOC 2 Type 2 examination
- International Organization for Standardization certification
for Information Security Management Systems (ISO 27001)
- Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
validation
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
attestation for the HIPAA Security Rule and the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) Breach
Notification requirements
- National Institute of Standards and Technology Publication
Series 800-53 (NIST 800-53) attestation based on the high-impact
baseline controls and additional Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP) requirements for a subset of control
families applicable to colocation services
SOC 1 Type 2 and SOC 2 Type 2
The SOC 1 and SOC 2 examinations are attestation standards
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA), and both reports have been issued under the AICPA’s
Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 18,
and equivalent international standards. SOC 2 is measured using a
standardized set of criteria set forth in TSP section 100, Trust
Services Criteria for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity,
Confidentiality, and Privacy (AICPA, Trust Services Criteria);
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 physical and environmental security,
customer support, and operational excellence, and the SOC 2
included the security and availability categories as defined by the
AICPA Trust Services Criteria. Companies with compliance
requirements may require SOC 1 or SOC 2 examination reports,
including publicly traded enterprises, financial firms, and
healthcare organizations.
ISO 27001
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 information security threats and vulnerabilities. The
certification also ensures that the information security controls
continue to meet physical 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 its operating data centers.
PCI DSS
The PCI DSS is a broad 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
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. The most recent PCI DSS attestation of
compliance (AOC) and report on compliance (ROC) have been issued
under version 3.2.1.
HIPAA
HIPAA requires that covered entities and business associates
take strong measures to protect the privacy and security of
protected health information. By attaining an attestation against
the HIPAA Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic
Protected Health Information (“HIPAA Security Rule”) and the
Notification in the Case of Breach of Unsecured Protected Health
Information enacted as part of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“HITECH Breach Notification
Requirements”), CoreSite provides assurance to healthcare industry
stakeholders that its data center colocation services meet the
HIPAA Security Rule and HITECH Breach Notification requirements
necessary to protect a covered entity’s physically hosted
information systems in CoreSite’s national platform of multi-tenant
data centers.
NIST 800-53
New in 2019, CoreSite successfully implemented the NIST 800-53
high-impact baseline controls, including additional FedRAMP
requirements, for a subset of control families applicable to
colocation services. The utilization of the high-impact baseline
controls for NIST 800-53 reflects CoreSite’s commitment to
successfully delivering the most rigorous compliance standards to
support our customers’ Federal Information Security Management Act
(FISMA) and FedRAMP compliance efforts. NIST 800-53 is a
publication that recommends security controls for federal
information systems and organizations. NIST 800-53 is published by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology which creates
and promotes the standards used by federal agencies to implement
FISMA and manage other programs designed to protect information and
promote information security. The addition of NIST 800-53
attestation, along with a number of other compliance objectives,
confirms that CoreSite data centers maintain stringent compliance
standards for data center operations, security and reliability.
Examinations and Assessments
All of the above examinations and assessments were conducted by
Schellman & Company, LLC, an independent CPA firm, a globally
licensed PCI Qualified Security Assessor, an ISO Certification
Body, HITRUST CSF Assessor, and a FedRAMP Third Party Assessment
Organization (3PAO).
