HIPAA Compliance

TurnKey Internet adheres to the standards set forth by The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). An audit system was established by HIPAA to ensure data center facilities are following a strict code of Federal Regulation set forth by independent inspectors. This system was established to secure the transfer and storage of Protected Health Information (PHI) of patients. Our data center is in compliance with all 19 HIPAA standards, meaning all server hosted are secure enough to store PHI which is important for those working within the healthcare industry.

In order for a data center to be HIPAA compliant they must first pass a rigorous audit to ensure that the facility follows the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) set by HIPAA inspectors. The inspectors take a detail look into the inner workings of a datacenter to ensure that any and all data stored inside are protected and only available to those authorized to view them. They also check to see if a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is made between the hosting provider and clients with data that are PHI. Any violation of a patient’s PHI are reported to the Office of Civil Rights (OCR). A Business Association Agreement binds employees of both parties to report any such violations.

HITECH Compliance

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, was signed into law on February 17, 2009, to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology. Subtitle D of the HITECH Act addresses the privacy and security concerns associated with the electronic transmission of health information, in part, through several provisions that strengthen the civil and criminal enforcement of the HIPAA rules.

PCI DSS Compliance

TurnKey Internet Data Centers are PCI compliant and offer your business trusted and secure support for all credit card transactions processed on line. PCI DSS standards were created in 2004 to curb high-profile security breaches by the founding brands of the PCI Security Standards Council. Those brands included the following: American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc. International.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) protects consumer security for all businesses that process transactions using credit cards. Our specialist’s work hard to ensure consumer identity is protected and that all controls are in place at all times.

Through the use of PCI hosting standards, server hosting procedures are implemented to ensure a secure environment for credit card processing. The standards are updated by the Council, as needed, to stay up-to-date with new or modified requirements. To be considered PCI compliant, businesses must meet all of the required standards sufficiently. Guaranteeing security and meeting requirements can be a tricky task for some businesses and the fine imposed for violations doesn’t make it any easier.

SOX Compliance

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was created to protect investors from accounting fraud, specifically that which is related to shares sold by publicly traded corporations. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act is a deliberate effort to mandate strict reforms regarding how corporations make financial declarations. This law mandates increased vigilance with regards to disclosures related to the financial state of the company, particularly when it comes to earnings and profitability.

WHAT IS COLOCATION

Colocation is a hosting service offered by major datacenters and web hosting companies to let you place your computer servers and other IT hardware in a secure, redundantly powered, high speed Internet-connected facility. There are many benefits that colocation service offers compared to hosting your own IT infrastrcuture on-site, such as higher up-time, increased network performance, lower cost of operation, and superior capacity expandability.

GROWTH CAPACITY

In a typical office IT environment, if you suddenly needed to increase your bandwidth to keep up with more mobile sales staff access, or increased Internet access to your business application, you could wait weeks or months from your cable or local Internet company. When your IT infrastructure is located in a colocation facility, you can turn up massive amounts of bandwidth within minutes or hours; bandwidth capacity that can be more than 10,000x that of a typical office cable Internet connection is readily available inside any colocation facility.

MAXIMIZED UPTIME

In a world dictated by 24x7 always-available service, being down for minutes or an hour can spell disaster. Imagine having your entire organizations IT infrastructure down for a day or a week, while the power or cable lines to your building are disrupted? Imagine power-loss during a typical summer storm disrupting mobile work forces and remote sales opportunities from accessing your servers? By leveraging colocation services, your IT infrastructre is housed in our redundantly high-speed Internet-connected facility, with continous power provided by industrial UPS battery systems and on-site diesel generators for emergency backups.

COST SAVINGS

You could spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to have the same up-time capabilities of the enterprise grade power, Internet and cooling systems in your own office location. The fiber optic lines, connecting to major hubs on the Internet at speeds in excess of 10,000x that of a typical office cable internet connection can cost over $50,000 a month - for just a single connection point. Add in redundancy to your office, and you could be spending millions a year for a high speed redundant Internet pipe at the same speeds you have access to for $100's per month with a Colocation service.

MOBILITY AND UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY

The face of business has changed into an on-demand environment. Mobile workers need access now, clients need access now, and your sales staff need access now. To add to the ever-increasing operational tempo of the modern business's communications needs, you now have an increasing mobile factor where multiple locations, road warriors, and clients can span the globe all needing high speed access to your IT infrastrcuture. With colocation services, you get massive high speed access at speeds 10,000x that of a typical office cable Internet connection -- ideal for the mobile and growing demands placed on the IT infrastructure of businesses today.

SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE

Colocation service leverages the physical security of the data center you place your equipment in. With TurnKey Colocation you get the peace of mind knowing that the facility is secured with video cameras, 24 x 7 security staff, physical barrier access to the computers, as well as biometric scanning at all access points. TurnKey Colocation offers SSAE-18 SOC 2 audited compliance, having undergone strict auditing and reviews of our policies security, which means your equipment will be housed securely and safely. For businesses that require SSAE-18 SOC certification, you can colocate your equipment with us and benefit from the SSAE-18 compliance already in place to avoid costly and time-consuming auditing of your own in-office facility.

PRIVACY AND DATA PROTECTION

With TurnKey Colocation, you own your equipment -- our SSAE-18 certified compliance facility has physical security covered. Since you own the equipment, only your staff have access to the data: unlike typical web hosting situations where your data may reside on a shared server, you will be the only one with access to your data, and to the privacy policies you configure for access. You can install the software, versions and data of your choosing since you control the hardware.
