A Quick Guide to Caspio’s Compliance Capabilities

Security and compliance are essential for any organization developing applications, especially as data protection regulations become more stringent worldwide.

For organizations operating in highly regulated industries like healthcare, education and government, compliance is a fundamental requirement.

However, implementing compliance can be complex — especially when building applications that need to integrate with other systems, maintain audit trail logs and adapt to evolving regulations.

Designed with security at its core, Caspio provides a comprehensive set of capabilities to help businesses meet regulatory compliance, privacy and accessibility standards.  

 

Here’s an overview of Caspio’s compliance capabilities and certifications that ensure your applications are aligned with industry standards and government regulations.

1. SOC 2 Type II: System and Organization Controls

SOC 2 Type II certification is a gold standard for assessing a platform’s ability to protect customer data. Achieving this certification means a platform like Caspio has undergone rigorous evaluation to ensure it maintains security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. With SOC 2 Type II, you can trust that your data is safeguarded against breaches while maintaining high operational standards. Visit our Trust Center for details.

2. PCI DSS Level 1: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

Handling payment data securely is essential for businesses processing credit card transactions. PCI DSS Level 1 certification ensures platforms can securely process payments without compromising customer trust. Caspio’s PCI DSS compliance is included in all paid plans, allowing businesses to integrate secure payment processing into their applications while meeting regulatory requirements.

3. ISO 27001/27017/27018: Information Security Management

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for managing information security, ensuring that platforms implement robust controls to identify and mitigate security risks.

Because the Caspio environment is operated on AWS, it leverages AWS certifications such as ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 to provide advanced security protections for sensitive information. This includes data encryption, privacy controls, network security, access management, audit logging and compliance monitoring.

4. GDPR: General Data Protection Regulation

GDPR provides a comprehensive framework for protecting the personal data and privacy rights of individuals within the European Union. It grants people greater control over their personal information, requiring organizations to implement robust data protection measures and obtain clear consent for data processing.

Caspio ensures GDPR compliance with robust security and privacy measures. Caspio’s Privacy Policy outlines data practices while adhering to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for international data transfers. All Caspio plans offer data localization with hosting in Ireland and the UK, while the Data Processing Agreement defines Caspio’s obligations as a data processor under EU law. For additional compliance safeguards, the EU Compliance Edition provides additional database-level encryption at rest and audit trail retention for six years. These measures demonstrate Caspio’s commitment to GDPR, helping businesses build and operate applications that ensure privacy and compliance across regions. Contact us to learn more.

5. HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

HIPAA establishes strict safeguards to protect the privacy and security of patient health information (PHI) in the U.S., ensuring confidentiality and compliance for healthcare providers.

Caspio’s HIPAA Edition meets these rigorous standards, offering a secure foundation for patient portals, care coordination systems, health outcomes dashboards, and more. To ensure compliance, Caspio provides a signed BAA outlining its role and responsibilities in safeguarding PHI. For organizations needing data portability with laboratories, pharmacies, insurance providers and other healthcare entities, Caspio’s Professional Services team can implement HL7/FHIR integration to facilitate seamless data exchange.

6. FERPA: Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

FERPA is a US federal law that protects student education records, ensuring that students and their parents have control over the disclosure of personal information within educational institutions. By setting strict guidelines, FERPA safeguards against unauthorized access and potential misuse of sensitive data. With Caspio’s Compliance Edition, educational institutions can securely store and manage student PII data within an exclusive environment designed to meet FERPA requirements.

7. WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

Ensuring web accessibility is not only ethical but also necessary for regulatory compliance. WCAG provides guidelines to make web content perceivable, operable, understandable and robust for users with disabilities. Caspio adheres to WCAG standards, helping organizations create accessible applications for all users.

8. ADA: Americans With Disabilities Act

In the context of digital accessibility, ADA mandates that online services must be accessible to people with disabilities. Caspio’s compliance ensures that we provide equal access to Caspio-powered no-code applications for users of all abilities.

9. Section 508: Accessibility

Section 508 is a US federal law that requires government agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. Caspio’s compliance with Section 508 ensures that federal employees and the public, including those with disabilities, have equal access to government information and services on Caspio-powered applications.

10. FIPS 140-2: Federal Information Processing Standard

FIPS 140-2 sets stringent security requirements for cryptographic modules used by US federal agencies, ensuring that sensitive government data is protected through robust encryption methods. Caspio’s FIPS 140-2 compliant GovCloud Edition is essential for any cloud service provider working with federal agencies. It’s hosted entirely on AWS GovCloud and is physically and logically accessible only by personnel in the United States.
