OscarService Inc. is pleased to announce our new partnership with Server Cloud Canada, one of Canada’s largest geo-redundant cloud infrastructure platforms.
“As a large provider of EMR systems we expectedly work with substantial amounts of confidential medical data that needs to stay in Canada, so obviously security is a top concern for us. The SCC team was able to demonstrate their commitment to security at each and every layer. Our engineering team had stringent requirements that they diligently pursued and assessed when confirming the infrastructure for operational readiness. We at OscarService are excited and looking forward to growing with our new partner.”
As Canadians, two separate federal privacy laws protect our privacy. These laws govern the information that businesses can collect on other Canadians, as well as how organizations must manage and protect that data.
As of January 1, 2004, PIPEDA applies to every organization that collects, uses or discloses personal information in the course of commercial activities. However, the federal government may offer an exemption organizations and/or activities in provinces deemed to have adopted substantially similar privacy legislation (more on this later).
The recent cloud controversy is yet another hard example of the importance and reality of security and privacy issues associated with cloud computing. The larger public commodity clouds have been built around the models of over-subscription and resource sharing - all in the name of immediate introduction and uptake. Usually one gets what they pay for, what have we really given up for the low cost (at times free) services?
Canada is a recognized world leader in privacy legislation so whether your business is targeting the Canadian market or whether you are an international company targeting the US market; Canada is an ideal location for hosting business-critical applications.
Cloud computing can be more secure than traditional IT. Cloud providers and new Cloud server technologies employ and deliver security well beyond the means of any small to medium business.
