The first company that gets to a certified HIPAA and PCI hosting cloud is going to have to figure out what to do with the buckets of cash they have lying around. I think for the enterprise PCI certification will be the event that gets the big (non-tech) guys out of running their own infrastructure. I would imagine that it would be the same for medical. As for you immediate question, I am sorry I can't help I don't know who if anyone is doing this. I am still looking for a PCI certified cloud as a portion of my customers are Public companies and not having to work on all their different infrastructures and being able to provide them a hosted solution would be great for me, but there is no way I could get into managing a PCI certified hardware infrastructure just to achieve that goal.
- 16s 16y agoAs a point of clarification... HIPPA is a federal law. PCI is an industry standard (VISA, Mastercard, etc). That does not mean one is better than the other, I just wanted to clarify.
- kls 16y agoYes, I am aware of the difference but thanks for the clarification. My point was more to the fact that a specialized cloud provider could really fill a needed void here on both counts.
- zorkerman 16y agoI agree it would be great, I've gotten letters from Amazon that it is hipaa compliant but not PCI, and from rackspace that it is pci compliant but not hipaa.
- kls 16y agoI did not know that Rackspace is PCI compliant. Thanks for that info.
