Managed cloud IaaS provider
FireHost is offering a new Compliance-as-a-Service (CaaS) option, making the company "the only cloud provider in the industry to deliver such a service". The service helps companies secure data and address PCI and HIPAA compliance concerns without the need to purchase additional hardware or software.
Acknowledged as a security specialist in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant on Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting, FireHost achieved PCI 3.0 compliance earlier in 2014. The company's CaaS service offers a range of functionalities including auditing, security and compliance monitoring, incident response, and forensics. The company has partnered with compliance provider Coalfire as an "independent third party". Coalfire "audits and validates" FireHost and in turn its customers, reducing auditing costs for FireHost customers.
“Data breaches and hacks present a constant threat for businesses, especially for those handling regulated data," explained FireHost's CEO, Jim Lewandowski. "The FireHost CaaS and our work with Coalfire are significant because it makes security and compliance easier, faster, and more affordable. Businesses don’t have capital expenses or integration headaches with CaaS – we take care of the complex security product integration, and we provide our customers the best secure cloud, all supported by industry-leading security professionals.”
