Re-Certifications Include HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3

DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LightEdge, the leader in compliant cloud and colocation for more than 20 years, has earned compliance re-certifications for HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI DSS, SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3, as well as a new certification for ISO 22301. In addition to renewing all compliance certifications for LightEdge's legacy locations, the team extended many certifications into recently acquired data centers, including LightEdge Cavern Suites and the San Diego and Phoenix facilities formerly operated by NFINIT.

All 11 LightEdge data centers are now compliant with HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI, and SOC (SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and SOC 3). Most locations are also compliant with HITRUST, ISO 20000-1, and ISO 22301, and the team is on track to achieve certification across all facilities for those three standards in 2023.

"We invest extensive time and resources into our annual compliance certification process, because we know it's critical for our customers, many of whom operate in highly regulated industries such as healthcare and finance," said Michael Hannan, Chief Security Officer for LightEdge. "With consistent 100% uptime, a highly redundant and secure network, and our proven security and compliance processes and expertise, we're proud to help our clients rest easy."
