Data Center and Cloud Services Provider, Peak 10, Obtains Its Privacy Shield Certification

Peak 10, a provider of data center, connectivity and cloud services for broad IT infrastructure requirements, has obtained its Privacy Shield certification, which replaces the now invalidated Safe Harbor regulation – in addition to receiving final reports for SOC1, SOC2, SOC3 and HIPAA. It also renewed certifications for PCI DSS and ISO 27001.

Also new this year, Peak 10 leveraged ZenGRC, a governance, risk and compliance SaaS platform by Reciprocity Labs to administer and manage its compliance and Internet security programs. ZenGRC would provide Peak 10 the transparency to centralize communications as well as track and map policies, controls, risks and vendors.

In addition to compliance assessments and security certifications, Peak 10 successfully completed audits to renew both the Master Level CMSP and Cisco-Powered IaaS designations. These Cisco certifications would reflect a rigorous examination of a provider’s infrastructure, configuration, operations and documentation to conform to very high standards in providing cloud services to end customers.
