Tripwire To Power GSI Regulated Hosting Solutions

Regulatory standards and industry guidelines have heightened the focus on IT operations. As organizations are expected to implement industry best practices to secure systems and monitor them for compliance against unwelcome changes, GSI has joined with Tripwire, Inc. to offer companies facing these issues with a fully-compliant regulated hosting solution. Powered by Tripwire software, GSI’s managed hosting services provide clients with a secure infrastructure and the operational expertise to assure compliance with specific regulations and guidelines.
Said Kelly Kephart, CEO of GSI, “compliance is an opportunity to apply technology and business practices that will enhance organizational control and improve risk management, creating a more solid foundation for decision making.

We chose Tripwire as an integral part of this marriage between technology and strong business practices which has enabled us to deliver compliance solutions which meet and exceed client expectations.”

GSI offers complete managed hosting services meeting regulatory standards and industry guidelines ranging from Sarbanes Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley and HIPAA to COSO and PCI.  To do so, GSI has implemented network and operational controls to ensure industry best practices in a regulated hosting operation. Tripwire powers GSI’s IT compliance offerings by detecting, reconciling, and reporting any changes across servers, network devices, and directory services. Further, through Tripwire, GSI can provide independent, verifiable audit logs of all actual change activity, documenting compliance.
The powerful combination of GSI’s deep experience with IT regulatory compliance and managed hosting services coupled with Tripwire’s independent, detective controls means that clients are now free from the day-to-day operation of servers, and will have time to focus resources on their core business with the confidence that compliance is being met.
