When you handle as much customer data as we do, security is important. Primadata is SAS-70 certified and HIPAA compliant, meaning we maintain the high security standards necessary for the handling and processing of confidential customer information. You can rest assured that your customer's data will be handled professionally and carefully when you choose Primadata for your variable data work. SAS-70 Certification
In today's fast-paced and complex business arena, a due diligence process is needed to assure corporations of the safety and integrity of their data when being handled by a third party organization. SAS-70 audits provide this assurance by examining, documenting, and if needed, testing a wide array of internal controls within these "service organizations." The passing of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, coupled with increased regulatory mandates and guidelines for businesses have propelled SAS-70 audits into the forefront of the business arena. If your customer's organization is concerned about the protection of their information, they should consider outsourcing any data-related services to Primadata, who has passed a SAS-70 audit. What is a SAS-70 Audit?
Suppliers who successfully complete a SAS-70 audit have been through an in-depth audit of their control activities, including controls over IT and related processes. SAS-70 allows a supplier to provide a third party certification of its internal controls to your customers. A SAS-70 data center has to maintain prescribed levels of data security and redundancy, as well as personnel controls. These requirements include reporting on the following:
• Firewall configuration and access • Database access
• Application security • Data transmissions
• Product development • Data backup and recovery In addition, data center staff cannot access servers or data without a specific procedure. All access and activity is logged. And all physical access is highly controlled. This is why, when you are looking for an applications service provider to handle projects that involve claims processing or other data processing services, you should consider Primadata, your SAS-70 supplier.

with HIPAA compliant Primadata services
"When there is not serious effort to comply with HIPAA standards, (a company) would find itself in an absolutely indefensible position in court." --Cybertrust 2005 The Importance of HIPAA in Insurance and Healthcare
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or "HIPAA" was enacted by the US Congress in 1996. Certain provisions of this act protect the security and privacy of health, claims and payment data. The rules state that "companies that outsource some of their business processes to a third party must ensure that their vendors also have a framework in place to comply with HIPAA requirements." This means that healthcare providers and insurance companies who want to outsource billing, claims and benefit processing need to use suppliers who have the necessary security measures in place. Secure Facilities
Look for providers who have implemented facility and employee security features such as key cards and restricted access to areas where data is present. Prior to selecting a vendor, take a tour and ask specific "what if" questions about possibilities for security breaches and how they are handled. Visit the IT staff to understand the hardware and software that has been implemented to proect your customer's data. We invite you to bring your customer along! Secure Data Uploads
