BlueBee Receives Health Data Hosting (HDS) Certification

Rijswijk, Netherlands (ots/PRNewswire) - BlueBee, a global
bioinformatics solutions provider, has been awarded the HDS:2018
certification for its Information Security Management System (ISMS).
The Hébergeurs de Données de Santé or Health Data Hosting (HDS)
accreditation is required for entities hosting personal health data
governed by French laws. The British Standards Institution (BSI)
conducted the audit and confirmed BlueBee's compliance with all
requirements and controls defined by the French Agency, Agence des
Systèmes d'Information Partagés de Santé (ASIP).

BlueBee's ISMS governs HDS outsourcer host activities, including
development, management, support and maintenance of cloud
infrastructure and cloud-based information systems that process large
volumes of omics and health data. The achievement of this
accreditation reaffirms BlueBee's continued commitment to providing
the most secure and reliable data management solutions to clinical
laboratories, diagnostic assay manufacturers and population genomics
initiatives. This validates the very high level of safety and
protection that BlueBee can offer French healthcare entities, who
will be able to rely on this cloud infrastructure to store, analyze
and manage diagnostic and omics patient data. This HDS certification
adds to BlueBee's growing list of health compliance offerings,
including:

- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA)
- NEN 7510:2011 Netherlands standards for control over
patient health
- National Health Service (NHS) Information Governance (IG)
Toolkit in the UK

"BlueBee continues building towards a global hosting
infrastructure for omics-related health data, and the current BlueBee
virtual platform is enabled to cover over 50 countries and
territories: EU region (France, Belgium, The Netherlands, England,
Germany, Italy, Denmark, Finland); NCSA region (USA, Canada, Brazil);
APAC region (Australia, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Taiwan)," stated Matthias Marivoet, Data Protection and Compliance
Officer at BlueBee.

BlueBee's services, including its Genomics Platform, Web
Applications and data center partners are compliant with all
applicable local and global regulations and standards. This
guarantees state-of-the-art data security as well as regulatory
compliance. The combination of sophisticated data center
infrastructure with the BlueBee Genomics Platform and certified
compliance allows BlueBee to meet the demanding data safety needs of
patient-derived, sensitive sequencing data, which requires the most
stringent security controls.

"As healthcare organizations continue to face ever-evolving
rigorous compliance standards and increasingly complex security needs
to help manage and protect patient data, information security is at
the helm of our mandate. Efforts to maintain and improve our
infrastructure safety are ongoing and our commitment to providing the
highest level of security remains a priority," stated Marc Gielis,
Chief Operations Officer at BlueBee.
