Case Study: HCMS Group achieves HIPAA-audited colocation and rack-level security with Green House Data

Two Sides of Healthcare Reform Software

HCMS Group provides cloud-based healthcare information solutions—data warehousing, analytics and clinical prevention services—to large employers, providers and health plans nationwide, including clients like Whole Foods and Cisco. As the company grew and consolidated multiple in-house data centers, it needed a HIPAA‑audited colocation partner that could support national SaaS/DaaS portals while meeting strict physical security and human‑resources requirements (individual rack security and background‑checked staff).

HCMS selected Green House Data’s Cheyenne facility, which is audited annually for HIPAA compliance, and implemented DIRAK eLine electronic rack locks with real‑time monitoring, AES‑encrypted communications and keycard access. Green House Data assisted with the migration, policies and procedures, enabling HCMS to maintain HIPAA and HITRUST standards, secure its infrastructure, and reliably deliver its analytic and reporting platforms to clients nationwide.
