IT Management Group Selects Online Tech's HIPAA Compliant Data Centers

Online, March 8, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The IT Management Group, a professional IT management service provider, announces they have selected Online Tech's data centers to assist clients with HIPAA, SOX and PCI compliance.

When IT Management Group was looking for a data center, they needed a reliable solution that offered HIPAA, SOX and PCI compliant colocation and managed server services. By partnering with Online Tech, the IT Management Group can give their clients the security of SAS 70, SSAE 16 (SOC 1) and SOC 2 audited data centers to protect data from threats while meeting national privacy standards.

Online Tech specifically can offer IT Management Group healthcare clients the opportunity to meet HIPAA compliance by hosting their applications or storing their data in an independently audited HIPAA data center. For example, one client who offers a doctor-to-doctor commerce web application hosts their entire web application on Online Tech's managed servers. Another client, a health insurance provider, uses Online Tech's managed servers to store all of their data and run their remote desktop environment.

"Online Tech gives me a high level of confidence of the quality of service I am offering my clients," said Greg Atkins, IT Management Group President.

Online Tech is the only independently HIPAA audited data center hosting provider. A HIPAA audit by an independent Certified HIPAA Practitioner (CHP) and Certified HIPAA Security Specialist (CHSS) found Online Tech to be 100% compliant across all 54 HIPAA citations, 136 audited components and 19 HIPAA standards with the controls stipulated in HIPAA version 1.2.1.

"Another advantage of selecting Online Tech is their IT disaster recovery solutions," states Atkins. "I am reassured that their data centers are geographically separated and on different power grids."

Online Tech fully owns and operates all of their data centers in areas with historically low risk natural disasters. Their high availability IT framework ensures that critical data and applications are always secure and always available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The top tier data centers, uniquely located 53 miles apart, are interconnected with dedicated Gigabit fiber for Internet traffic failover and routing of backup and disaster recovery data between data centers.
