Redcentric announced it has been confirmed as the first Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) certified CN-SP to achieve stage two compliance.

The UK managed service provider offering a range of on-premise, managed and cloud services is now the only CN-SP in the country that is able to physically deliver and connect live network services.

Across two “key” customer sites, the accreditation came on the back of a trial and audit process, where availability, performance, security and continuity were examined.

Mark Hall, Redcentric chief assurance officer, commented: “From the outset we have been passionately committed to the HSCN programme and to driving a new generation of customer-led, market-aware solution provision for health and social care.

“Our prompt and diligent approach to stage two compliance is a further illustration of both that commitment and our expertise and focus around healthcare. It underpins how we are shaping our effort and endeavour to accelerate service delivery to allow our users to start taking the earliest possible advantage of HSCN.”
