Evolve IP Recognized in the 2016 Magic Quadrant for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) by Gartner

July 7, 2016 / Evolve IP

Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

WAYNE, Pa.—August 15, 2016 – Evolve IP, The Cloud Services Company™, today announced that it has been recognized in Gartner’s June 2016 Magic Quadrant for Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). As noted in the report, Gartner included just 20 firms in the Magic Quadrant of over 250 available providers. Evolve IP’s addition comes after service evaluations and customer references which we feel confirmed the company’s completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Disaster recovery is a rapidly growing cloud service. In fact, Gartner estimates that from “2016 through 2020, the use of either DRaaS or IaaS to support the failover of production applications will grow by more than 200%.” Evolve IP’s exclusive research of 2,000+ IT professionals and executives concurs. Of those surveyed, less than half, 45.5%, felt they were “very prepared” to recover their assets in the event of a disaster and more than one third (34.5%) had suffered from an incident that required disaster recovery.

“We are very pleased to be included in Gartner’s DRaaS Magic Quadrant,” said Scott Kinka, Chief Technology and Product Officer and Founding Partner of Evolve IP. “Our DRaaS offering has been incredibly well received in the market and we expect it to continue to generate excitement and opportunities for growth along with our other cloud services. We are uniquely positioned in the market among DRaaS providers with the ability to provide multiple cloud computing and cloud communications services – a great benefit for businesses looking to work with a single cloud services provider.”

One of the nation’s fastest growing cloud companies, Evolve IP provides cloud services in virtually every industry including: healthcare, legal, insurance, banking, technology, travel, veterinary medicine, and retail and to some of the world’s most recognizable brands. The company’s Evolve IP OneCloudTM solution allows organizations to migrate multiple cloud computing and cloud communications services onto a single, unified platform including: virtual servers, virtual desktops, disaster recovery, IP phone systems / unified communications, contact centers and more.

HITRUST

Evolve IP is proud to have achieved the honor of being HITRUST CSF certified! Certification to the HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) affirms that all of Evolve IP’s cloud computing and cloud communications services adhere to the strictest security standards for electronic protected health information (PHI). The HITRUST security standard was developed by and for the healthcare industry as a means of going above and beyond the compliance requirements of HIPAA.

The HITRUST Common Security Framework (CSF) was developed to address the multitude of security, privacy and regulatory challenges facing healthcare organizations. The HITRUST CSF was developed by healthcare and IT professionals to provide an efficient and prescriptive framework for managing the security requirements inherent in HIPAA. HITRUST CSF rationalizes healthcare-relevant regulations and standards into a single overarching security framework. An important part of the “What is HITRUST” answer is understanding that the CSF is risk-based and compliance-based so that organizations can tailor the security control baselines and vendor management programs that they follow based on their specific organization type, size, systems, and regulatory requirements.

HIPPA

The Privacy regulations of the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require health care providers, organizations, and their business associates, develop and follow procedures that ensure the confidentiality and security of protected health information (PHI) when it is transferred, received, handled, or shared. This applies to all forms of PHI — paper, oral, and electronic, etc. Those who fail to adhere to HIPAA can suffer from huge fines climbing into the millions of dollars for major violations.

The Compliance Cloud™ fully enables covered entities and their business associates subject to HIPAA regulations to leverage a secure environment to process, maintain, and store protected health Information (PHI) featuring among other controls.

SSAW 16 Service Organization Control II (SOC 2)

Evolve IP has received an SSAE 16 SOC 2 Type II report on our internal controls relating to how we assess and address the potential risks associated with the security, availability, and confidentiality of not only the cloud-based services that we provide, but also our physical and logical infrastructure. Evolve IP utilizes the Certified Public Accounting firm of Grant Thornton to perform its annual audit and attestation in accordance with the Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 and the associated Trust Services Principles, as published by the AICPA, to evaluate the effectiveness of Evolve IP’s service organizations controls.

It was created by the founding brands of the PCI Security Standards Council, which includes American Express, Discover Financial, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide, and Visa Inc.

CSA STAR

Evolve IP is also a registered and participating member of the CSA Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR). The CSA was formed to encourage transparency of security practices within cloud providers. It is a free, publicly accessible registry that documents the security controls provided by various cloud computing offerings, thereby helping users assess the security of cloud providers they currently use or are considering contracting with. CSA STAR is open to all cloud providers, and allows them to submit assessment reports that document compliance to CSA published best practices. The searchable registry will allow potential cloud customers to review the security practices of providers, accelerating their due diligence and leading to higher quality procurement experiences. CSA STAR represents a major leap forward in industry transparency, encouraging providers to make security capabilities a market differentiator.
