ANN ARBOR, Mich, June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Otava, a global leader in custom and compliant cloud solutions, today announced it has been certified compliant by third party auditors in its annual process. Certifications include HIPAA-HITECH, HITRUST, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and SOC 1, 2, and 3.

Coverage spans both physical data centers as well as Otava's solution portfolio. By provisioning secure and compliant services, Otava cost effectively alleviates many of the technical compliance challenges for its customers while delivering premium compliant cloud solutions.

Together, these regulatory standards represent the majority of the most rigorous technical requirements across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and many other industries.

"Otava has always gone above and beyond when it comes to security and compliance so that customers can lean on us to carry much of that load for them," said Adam Goslin, Chief Compliance Officer, Otava. "Compliance is not easy. Being a central source for many of their requirements means our customers don't need to go it alone or patch together multiple vendors in order to validate their compliance each year."

Otava's most recently achieved renewals include PCI-DSS and SOC 1, 2, and 3 which are essential protection for any enterprise that manages financial and credit card data. The company's HIPAA/HITECH audits, which healthcare organizations rely on, have also recently been reaffirmed. Otava is current with ISO 27001, and HITRUST which will both renew later this year.
