15:08.09 | Slade | individual components still have to be compliant, but they need to be in a compliant datacenter |
15:09.03 | Slade | physical access is a component of data security |
15:09.08 | Slade | https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/compliance/ <-- PCI-DSS in lots of the digital ocean datacenters |
15:09.40 | drmessano | Vultr is PCI-DSS Compliant |
15:10.36 | drmessano | However, that's irrelevant |
15:10.37 | Samot | It's not transferrable to the user. |
15:10.41 | drmessano | Correct |
15:10.55 | drmessano | Your HIPAA and PCI certification is on YOUY |
15:10.57 | drmessano | Your HIPAA and PCI certification is on YOU |
15:11.26 | Samot | It's your responsibility to handle your data "at rest" and "in transit" |
15:11.55 | Samot | The DC could have all the protection in the world but if you transfer data non-securely that's not their issue. |
15:11.57 | drmessano | HIPAA AND PCI compliance in the cloud are on you, not the provider |
15:11.57 | Samot | That's yours |
15:12.55 | drmessano | If you don't understand why this is the case, then you're asking for the wrong reasons |
15:14.01 | drmessano | This is like asking Western Digital if they maintain PCI certification before buying one of their hard drives |
15:14.07 | Samot | DO and Vultr have those for themselves because they transfer data |
15:14.13 | Samot | Between their nodes and DCs. |
15:14.59 | drmessano | Vultr and DO can't bless your instances with compliance like a Digital Pope |
15:15.56 | narziss | Samot: yeah for testing by my boss. though I wouldnt be surprised if he ignored the part about it not being stable. |
15:16.23 | Samot | narziss: It's not production ready. You really need to stress that |
15:16.44 | narziss | that should be fine for now. |
15:16.55 | narziss | jsut a test machine so far. |
15:17.05 | Samot | Right and that's fine. |
15:17.16 | Samot | Testing it is fine that is what a beta release is for. |
15:17.20 | Samot | But that is really it. |
15:19.13 | drmessano | It's sad that this has to be explained, tbh. You're gonna blindly proclaim a VPS provider isn't such-and-such compliant when YOU are solely responsible for the storage and transit of the data on your instances. |

15:23.15 | Samot | Part of the DC's side of it is to make sure I just can't walk in and have free accesss |
15:23.53 | drmessano | https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/hipaa-compliance/ |
15:24.12 | drmessano | Even Amazon says "It's on you to store and transmit securely.. " |
15:26.00 | drmessano | Oh and |
15:26.11 | drmessano | Customers must manage their own PCI DSS compliance certification, and additional testing will be required to verify that your environment satisfies all PCS DSS requirements. |

15:26.29 | drmessano | They also say PCI Compliance is ON YOU |
15:26.58 | drmessano | So bagging Vultr or anyone else for not having compliance info is misdirected and misinforned |
15:29.04 | Samot | Plus outside of all of that, moving from Vultr to DO is kind of a lateral move. |
15:38.37 | drmessano | Misguided |

23:28.32 | Slade | there doesnt seem to be many reasonably priced full pbx systems around that arent complete garbage |
23:30.20 | *** join/#asterisk miralin1 (~Thunderbi@81.177.58.137) |
23:30.32 | Samot | You mean actual PBX systems? |
23:30.56 | Slade | yea. phone system in a cloud |
23:31.33 | Samot | And who have you looked at? |
23:32.15 | Slade | hmm. i'd have to go through my history.. its been a bunch. flowroute you just host a vultr and make your own seems to be the cleanest solution typically |
23:32.31 | Slade | maybe my google fu sucks and i'm only finding bad ones :) |
23:32.55 | Samot | I guess it depends on what you are actually looking for. |
23:33.35 | Slade | partially just learning.. but for a solution i'd be looking at it for lots of little small businesses really. |
23:34.38 | Samot | I've installed one on-premises PBX for a customer in the last year. |
23:34.41 | Samot | Zero cloud. |
23:34.55 | Samot | There is a big chunk of the market that doesn't want one. |
23:34.56 | Slade | not a cloudy person? |
23:35.06 | Samot | No, it's what I do. |
23:35.14 | Slade | oh, heh ok |
23:35.36 | Samot | I have 12 hotels on the calendar for the summer/fall. Not a single one of them is using their own PBX. |
23:35.45 | Samot | They are paying for seats and features. |
23:35.49 | Samot | 100% hosted. |
23:37.11 | Samot | I have a handful of office users that have their own PBX and get SIP Trunks. I also have a chunk of hotels still on old Mitels, etc that use SIP Trunks. |
23:37.23 | Samot | However, 90% of the business is hosted users. |
23:38.25 | Slade | ah, i run a small vocational school, lots of my students go off to start their own businesses. They only ever need a single line really, but it'd be nice to be able to offer them a solution |
23:38.46 | Slade | being able to interject a receptionist in the middle would be useful too |
23:39.04 | Samot | A real one? |
23:39.06 | Samot | Or an IVR? |
23:39.08 | Slade | yea |
23:39.10 | Slade | no real one |
23:39.15 | Slade | IVR only marginally useful |
23:39.19 | Samot | That's not hard. |
23:39.38 | Slade | no, simple requirements i think |
23:40.06 | Samot | So the real question becomes how responsible do you want to be for it all? |
23:40.35 | Slade | that is the question indeed! |
23:40.58 | Samot | Because providing voice service is more than just having a PBX and a Flowroute account. |
23:42.35 | Slade | can you elaborate? |
23:42.41 | Slade | (I agree btw) |
23:45.57 | Slade | i guess the sms is a little issue too in a normal pbx |
23:47.55 | Samot | Well there is understanding how Telephony works. |
23:48.17 | Samot | Are you going to do outbound calling for this? What type of security will you have in place for that? |
23:48.22 | Samot | What about emergency calling? |
23:48.31 | Slade | its all tip and ring right? :) |
23:49.08 | Samot | How can it be Tip/Ring with SIP? |
23:49.39 | Slade | was being silly |
23:50.03 | Slade | it was in response to <Samot> Well there is understanding how Telephony works. |
23:50.40 | Samot | Well, joking or not the answer is no. It's not all tip/ring. |
23:52.01 | Slade | right |
23:53.36 | Samot | Well I'm running out for a bit. But yeah there's quite a few things that need to be considered. |
23:53.39 | Slade | but you're right, some of those things do have to be answered. outbound calling and emergency calling is one of those legal requirements |
23:53.43 | Samot | Including the support part of it. |
23:53.48 | Slade | err |
23:53.59 | Slade | outbound calling is probably handy, and emergency calling is legal :p |
23:54.30 | Samot | Yeah that's the thing about 9-1-1. |
23:54.45 | Samot | There are new rules in place, specially for a PBX system. |
23:54.55 | Samot | 911 must route and must be answered by a _real person_ |
23:55.04 | Slade | really my interest would be in providing them the receptionist to share. figuring out a nicely efficient way to do that is tricky |
23:55.11 | Samot | It doesn't have to go directly to the PSAP but someone has to answer and handle the call. |
23:55.22 | Samot | No, it's really not. |
23:55.44 | Samot | You have a phone with side cars or a call management portal. |
23:56.04 | Samot | You either prefix the callerid or distinct ring it or both. |
23:56.26 | Samot | This is no different then a call center agent sitting in multiple queues. |
23:56.52 | Samot | They can be provided who the call is destined for and who the caller id. |
23:56.53 | Slade | ah, call centering stuff is further away than i know how to do. i'm pretty basic. |
23:56.55 | Samot | They can be provided who the call is destined for and who the caller is. |
23:57.04 | Samot | I just gave you how to do it. |
23:57.26 | Slade | that'd be running my own system to do that eh? |
23:57.36 | Samot | No. |
23:57.40 | Samot | It's a PBX feature. |
23:57.42 | Samot | It's call routing. |
23:57.52 | Samot | These are all things providers can offer. |
23:58.09 | Slade | ah, so any pbx really. just need to find a decently priced pbx provider, or roll my own :) |
23:58.28 | Samot | And like I asked, how responsible do you want to be? |
23:58.41 | Slade | yea. i havent figured out the answer to that yet :) |
23:58.44 | Samot | The former lets you pass things off to someone else, the latter means everything stops with you. |
23:59.01 | Slade | ideally i'd like to pass it off, if its not too unreasonable |
23:59.38 | Samot | You can either have a single account and allow all the users to be able to get support on it. Not uncommon. |
