CSC and Cloudera Team to Achieve PCI and HIPAA Certification on Big Data Platform as a Service (BDPaaS) Offering

Business Wire
PCI/HIPAA-compliance-ready BDPaaS offering now
available
Cloudera, the leader in enterprise analytic data management
powered by Apache HadoopTM, today announced that it has partnered
with CSC (NYSE: CSC), a global leader in next-generation IT
services and solutions, with support from Intel, to achieve
industry’s most stringent security certifications for CSC’s Big
Data Platform as a Service (BDPaaS) offering: PCI and HIPAA. With
this achievement, BDPaaS becomes the first Hadoop-based managed
service to receive PCI and HIPAA certifications.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an
industry-wide framework for protecting consumer credit card data,
and its security compliance standards are generally considered the
market’s most stringent. Beyond payment cards, PCI-level security
is essential for many industries -- including banking, retail and
healthcare -- where strict requirements dictate processes for
handling sensitive information such as financial data and
personally identifiable information.
In achieving PCI DSS certification for its BDPaaS offering, CSC
becomes the first and only global technology services firm to
provide a compliance-ready Hadoop platform as a service. This means
Cloudera and CSC are now able to offer a PCI-ready environment for
clients looking to host sensitive data within CSC’s fully managed
BDPaaS offering, which speeds and simplifies development, testing
and deployment of big data applications.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
ensures that all healthcare-related information conforms to a high
standard of data security. The nature of healthcare data is very
sensitive, and requires stringent security to ensure data theft
does not occur. By achieving HIPAA compliance, BDPaaS provides
assurance to patients and healthcare providers that the platform is
safe for their data, allowing them to focus on their core mission
of healthcare.
"Cloudera was critical to our PCI/HIPAA compliant solution,”
said Eddie Satterly, chief technology officer for CSC’s Emerging
Business Group. “The unique technologies of Cloudera Navigator,
Cloudera Sentry, and other security capabilities essential to the
successful audit of the solution."
For its part, Cloudera is “very excited to be bringing the
HIPAA/PCI-ready service offering to market,” said Tim Stevens, vice
president, Corporate and Business, Cloudera. “CSC has shown its
leadership and deep understanding of Cloudera’s technology in
reaching this high security bar. This offering presents an
interesting option for those customers who need HIPAA or PCI-level
security but would like a managed data platform.”
The PCI DSS and HIPAA-certified solutions are designed using
Intel x86 technology with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform within a CSC datacenter.
CompliancePoint served as the third-party evaluator to CSC and
Cloudera for PCI and HIPAA compliance, and the Duluth,
Georgia-based information security service company will also be
available for audit services for any customers of BDPaaS.
