HealthStream Certifies
State-of-the-Art Security
Our system adheres to stringent security standards. The servers that host the system application and its databases are physically secured in hardened data centers with state-of-the-art security, including biometric entry and steel mesh cages that house the servers. To be allowed access to the application, a user must submit the appropriate credentials, which are encrypted by a one-way MD5 hash. All data deemed of a proprietary nature is submitted and retrieved via 128bit SSL encryption.

HealthStream Maintains a Fully Equipped
Reserve Data Center
HealthStream utilizes two geographically-disperse data hosting facilities, representing separate vendors. Each employs numerous back-up generators and battery power supplies. Fire protection and state-of-the-art security systems are fully installed in both facilities. Utilizing multiple data centers is a key element to ensuring the high standard of confidence our customers place with us.

HealthStream Protects Customers with a
Rigorous Back-up Schedule
HealthStream employs a comprehensive approach for securing customers’ data. We use a rigorous back-up protocol with hardware that is configured with advanced data integrity features. On all production servers, your data exists on multiple hard drives (RAID technologies) to ensure continuous operations. As you generate additional data or enter modifications, a replication process records these changes every 15 minutes on a separate drive array. To further protect your data, it is backed up to a mirrored disk array every 24 hours. Full database back-ups are then copied on tapes each week and are, subsequently, shipped to a remote, secure location.
