Involta has announced a total of six Involta data centres and managed infrastructure platforms have now earned certified status for information security by HITRUST.

Facilities and systems in Boise, Idaho, Marion, Iowa, and Akron, Ohio, have joined three previously Involta certified locations, including:

HITRUST Risk-based, 2-year (r2) Certified status demonstrates that these facilities and systems have met key regulations and industry-defined requirements and are appropriately managing risk. This achievement places Involta in an elite group of providers worldwide that have earned this certification. By including federal and state regulations, standards, and frameworks incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organisations address security and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.
