CLOUD PARTNERS — Cloud provider  RapidScale (Booth 619) has teamed with software company Ivis to launch CloudCompliance, a compliance and auditing solution, at the Cloud Partners event this week in Chicago.

CloudCompliance helps companies implement, automate and manage their day-to-day activities around regulations such as PCI, HIPAA, SOX, FINRA, ISO, FDA, FAA and more. CloudCompliance tracks events that cannot be tampered with, destroyed, or altered. In addition, CloudCompliance can be used to organize and maintain critical documents for immediate access.

By setting up activities consisting of workflow-enabled tasks, CloudCompliance tracks completion of pass or fail with audit trails. RapidScales clients can then provide auditors with timely reports generated from within the solution,” said Rick Irvine, head of CloudCompliance at RapidScale. This will eliminate the numerous man hours typically required for audit preparation.”

RapidScale’s industry-specific CloudCompliance packages include CloudHealthcare, CloudHospitality, CloudFinance, CloudAutomotive, CloudSmallBusiness, CloudRealEstate, CloudEducation, CloudInsurance, CloudEnterprise and CloudGovernment.

The value of CloudCompliance is seen in the elimination of hard costs such as servers, storage consulting time, software licenses and maintenance costs,” said Randy Jeter, CEO of RapidScale.

Ivis CEO Christopher Lank said CloudCompliance not only keeps the compliance costs down, but it provides confidence for companies looking to move to the cloud that must adhere to regulations.
