StorONE and Accessium Group Partner

StorONE, Inc. and Accessium Group, Inc., a healthcare consulting firm specializing in IT services, announced their collaboration to deliver high capacity and HIPAA-compliant storage solutions to the healthcare market.

This partnership has enhanced data management capabilities in critical medical fields such as radiology, cardiology, pathology, neurology, and ophthalmology.

Accessium’s healthcare consulting services-ranging from onsite support and outsourced solutions to assessments, audits, cybersecurity, and remote assistance are empowered by StorONE’s storage technology.

Together, they provide healthcare providers with scalable storage solutions that comply with HIPAA regulations, ensuring the highest standards of patient data protection.

“There is a measure of genius here I have not found in any other healthcare IT company,” said Kenneth Pearson, MD, Kaleida Healthcare. “They are key partners in our day-to-day activities offering critical input for our ever-growing organizational needs.“

StorONE’s storage solutions, powered by technologies like NVMe and advanced tiering algorithms, ensure lightning-fast access to medical images, reducing retrieval times, enhancing data access speeds, and minimizing latency issues. These improvements are critical for timely diagnostics and treatment.

“With its vast stores of sensitive data and the need to be up and available for patients 24×7, the healthcare sector continues to be one of the most attractive targets for cyber-attacks. Additionally, it is critical to have the most recent patient data at hand at any time. That is why it is imperative for healthcare providers to adopt the most advanced and comprehensive storage solutions to house and safeguard this information,” said Ryan Erwin, CEO, Accessium. “The StorONE platform provides it all – ready access to data and robust security. With StorONE, Accessium can provide access to the highest standards of privacy and trust that patients rightfully expect and deserve.“

Additionally, StorONE has reinforced its support for HIPAA with the latest version of its S1 software. This version offers an enhanced set of security features that act as the last line of defense in the event of a cyberattack in a healthcare setting.

Key features include:

• Auto-Tiering: Dynamically transferring sensitive data for optimal utilization
• Lockable and Immutable Snapshots: Ensuring the integrity and consistency of data, helping healthcare organizations meet regulatory requirements for data retention and protection
• Ransomware and Rapid Recovery: Providing well-defined procedures and tools to detect, respond to, and recover from ransomware attacks
• Multi-Admin Approval: Ensures multiple admins and consensus decision-making to prevent unauthorized access, with data security managed at the storage layer
• Anomaly Detection and Audit Logs: Identifies security threats, system malfunctions, and other irregularities, essential for robust cybersecurity

“As a former CIO, I’ve been on the front line in remediating 3 global corporate cyberattacks and my experience has been that the road to recovery is full of potholes. Today, with the ever-increasing frequency of cyberattacks that deny access to data, maintaining frequent backups and robust recovery capabilities is an absolute imperative,” said Ken Brower, CEO, KJB Consulting Group. “A comprehensive backup plan, as required by HIPAA’s Security Rule, should include DR, emergency operations, critical data analysis, and periodic testing. StorONE supports this level of backup and response and provides these vital actions for safeguarding data and ensuring operational resilience vs. cyber threats.”

“We are proud to highlight the success of our relationship with Accessium, which has assisted us in meeting the demanding storage needs of the healthcare industry,” said Gal Naor, CEO and co-founder, StorONE. “Our Enterprise Storage Platform is designed to support high capacity and performance, ensuring healthcare providers can manage their data with confidence and ease.“

The collaboration represents a significant advancement in healthcare data management, providing organizations with the tools they need to handle large volumes of sensitive medical data securely. The focus on high capacity and HIPAA-compliant storage solutions ensures that healthcare providers can deliver superior patient care while maintaining robust data integrity and security.
