TAMPA, Fla., March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NetDirector, a cloud-based data exchange and integration platform, has recently completed work with A-LIGN to undergo rigorous and valuable security certifications. NetDirector was recently awarded attestations in compliance with HIPAA and SOC2 Type II standards, the leading security standards in Healthcare and Mortgage Banking, respectively.

The SOC 2, or Service Organization Controls 2, is an examination under AICPA standards designed for technology service companies to demonstrate controls around data security and processing integrity. The SOC 2 reports are intended to meet the needs of a broad range of users that need to understand internal controls at a service organization as it relates to security, availability, process integrity, confidentiality and privacy. The Type II report is a report on management's description of a service organization's system and the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of controls.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, defines policies and procedures, as well as processes, which are required of companies that store, process, or handle electronic health information that is considered "protected" (ePHI). HIPAA compliance is increasingly valuable to both technology service providers and integrators like NetDirector, as well as providers, electronic health records systems, billing platforms, and others integrating and utilizing healthcare data.

Both the SOC 2 and the HIPAA audit were performed by Tampa-headquartered nationwide security and compliance solutions provider A-LIGN. A-LIGN specializes in helping businesses across a variety of industries navigate the complexities of specific audits and security assessments, and both the SOC 2 and HIPAA reports of A-LIGN's findings can be made available to prospective or current customers.

"NetDirector displayed the necessary controls in their HIPAA and SOC 2 attestation reports," said Scott Price of A-LIGN. "Their security and management teams were great to work with throughout the process. There is a strong attention to detail in the organization."

In addition to the in-house attestations, the data centers utilized by NetDirector through Peak10 maintain the same security standards or higher in all aspects of their company. Many technology companies have recently been brought to light as claiming true "compliance" in their organization, when they really mean that their data center has gone through the rigorous examination. At NetDirector, the belief is in transparency and clear communication regarding security, including compliance audits at all ends of the process.

"I am very proud of our team for successfully completing these important 3^rd party audits," said Harry Beisswenger, NetDirector CEO. "Both the mortgage default servicing industry and the health data environment come with very unique security and compliance requirements, and these certifications and reports strengthen the trust that our clients place in us to safely integrate their platforms and transform their data."
