Arcion Achieves SOC Type 1, Type 2 Certification And HIPAA Compliance

0

Arcion, creator of the cloud-native, CDC-based data replication platform, has achieved SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 certifications and is also fully HIPAA compliant. The SOC 2 Type 1 and 2 certifications attest to Arcion’s adherence to gold standard protocols for protecting the privacy and security of data both at rest and in transit.

The SOC 2 Type 1 audit validates compliance based on a snapshot in time, whereas the SOC 2 Type 2 certificate validates the effectiveness of Arcion’s controls over an extended period of time. These certifications are vital for financial institutions or for any organization that handles personally identifiable information or other sensitive data.

Arcion encrypts data both in transit and at rest, in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule that safeguards patients’ protected health information (PHI). Automatic data masking provides yet another layer of protection for sensitive data, without the need to write manual code. Comprehensive logging and configurable email alerts provide for a complete audit trail, accessible via the Arcion platform itself or through integration to Splunk and Grafana for added flexibility. These features make Arcion’s platform ideal for healthcare companies that require HIPAA compliance.

System and Organization Controls (SOC) comprises a set of widely recognized auditing standards, created and overseen by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and certified by independent auditors.
