Physical Security
Protecting ePHI:
The iTel Cloud is located in it’s data center with very low natural disaster risk, and offers 24/7 protection and limited access to any information. The highest physical measures are taken to protect the servers including using military-grade perimeter barriers, video surveillance, and intrusion detection systems. To access data center floors, authorized staff must pass through a highly secure two-factor authentication system. Physical access to cages is controlled, as well as, environmental and cooling controls where the servers are stored.
Intelligent Perimeter Security:
iTel and all users are protected with a multi-tiered, intelligent perimeter security model with IP reputation filtering, multi-layered DDoS mitigation, network and application layer firewall protection, and intrusion detection span. Application layer protection includes inspection of SSL encrypted traffic.
Customer and VM Specific Security:
The iTel cloud has two hypervisor-based firewalls, providing user to user isolation and multi-tiered architectures within each user environment. These firewalls protect down to the vNIC level allowing for granular security available nowhere else.
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, was signed into law on February 17, 2009, to promote the adoption and meaningful use of health Information technology. Subtitle D of the HITECH Act addresses the privacy and security concerns associated with the electronic transmission of health information, in part, through several provisions that strengthen the civil and criminal enforcement of the HIPAA rules.
