Certichron and JTime!® MEINBERG USA Partner to Offer Certichron’s Provable SecureNTP Services to Meinberg Customers!
December 8, 2009: Certichron and JTime!® MEINBERG USA the exclusive US distributor for Meinberg, have announced a partnership to offer a new trusted-time service to existing Meinberg Timing Solution customers.Meinberg LANTIME system owners already know how important accurate time is. Certichron’s SecureNTP service enhances their time management practices by creating “provable” time – independent verification as to the accuracy and source of time settings. If internal investigations, exposure to litigation or compliance with regulations or industry standards are important risks in your business, then your time settings must be provable. This includes compliance with industry standards such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the FINRA Order Audit Trail System (OATS) and such laws as HIPAA, GLBA and SOX. You should be able to demonstrate to auditors, regulators, law enforcement or the courts that the time settings on your electronic records support your assertions. If you can not substantiate “when” an event occurred, then the data as to “who” and “what” will likely be discredited or, in the worst case, thrown out in court as unreliable, unprovable digital testimony. SecureNTP creates third-party initialization and tracking events to provide forensic assurance that your Meinberg precision solution was working properly and that the network was properly synchronized.
From a business assurance level, Certichron’s SecureNTP service provides Meinberg Timing Solution users with a strong level of forensic assurance as to the source and accuracy of your time settings and can be easily used with existing Meinberg NTP and PTP LANTIME systems without significant changes in existing operational procedures.
