G-CLOUD provider meets NHS IG Toolkit requirements
By F D ( Tito ) Castillo, on 21 May 2013
Following our earlier post that epilab-SS service now meets the NHS criteria for information security and governance (Level 2). We can confirm that AIMES Grid Services CIC Ltd, the data centre provider for epiLab-SS, have recently been notified that their submission to NHS Information Governance Toolkit team has been reviewed and found to meet their requirements. This means that, in addition to their pre-existing ISO-27001 certification and G-Cloud Assured Services, AIMES now also meets the NHS criteria for information security and governance (Level 2).

This will add to the dual certification (cloud/institution) model of information security assurance that we have been collaborating on and we look forward to improving it even further during future projects.
