Myriad Genetics enhances compliance with RapidScale

Genetic screening company sought out for an innovative solution that will help make genetic screening and counseling more accessible to a wider audience.

Overview

Genetic screening helps countless patients make informed healthcare decisions every year. Yet historically, this critical value has been inaccessible to many people as genetic screening was a labor-intensive and expensive process.

Outcomes that matter

Today, after over one million genetic screens, Myriad Genetics is a clear industry leader in genetic screening and counseling services. 

RapidScale began working with Myriad to document their existing on-premises systems and requirements for their AWS environment. They then architected an AWS solution that meets HIPAA standards for infrastructure security, monitoring, incident management, logging, and documentation. RapidScale has experience building hundreds of AWS cloud systems for healthcare companies, and its internal systems and personnel are audited annually for HIPAA and HITRUST, so Myriad could rely on RapidScale’ processes to meet HIPAA standards.

The challenge

From our high tech laboratory with custom robotics and chemistry to our reporting system, we have automated the genetic screening process and built a system that could scale to a much larger group of people,” says Dave Peticolas, SVP of Technology at Myriad. “Automating our IT infrastructure on the cloud was the next logical step.”

Myriad made the decision to migrate several of their critical applications to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Their goal was to be able to automate provisioning of new infrastructure so that new products could be quickly and easily tested and launched. Rather than waiting months to provision new on-premises infrastructure, they wanted to test and launch new ideas in minutes. They also wanted to reduce their IT footprint and create a more efficient IT operation.

The solution

Myriad’s AWS environment is set up in a hub-spoke VPC model, where critical security and management capabilities are centralized and environment tiers are “spokes” off of this central hub. Using a hub-spoke VPC layout provides a separation of concerns, network isolation, and an easy basis for comparison of security groups. RapidScale also set up a PostgreSQL replica from Myriad’s datacenter to a PostgreSQL server running on Amazon EC2 with replication between the two sites via AWS VPN gateway. Myriad uses the RapidScale Pulse portal as a single hub to access Alert Logic, cost monitoring, and ticket support systems.
