CynergisTek Takes Data Protection in Healthcare Organizations Seriously
Everyone in healthcare knows that new HIPAA regulations, implemented as part of the HITECH Act this year, have raised the bar on compliance. In particular, data leak prevention has become a hot spot for many healthcare organizations. As we’ve noted before, we identified more than 22 million sensitive records floating around one such healthcare organization. The HITECH act mandates federal data breach notification requirement for security breaches involving protected health information. And it covers not just the actual healthcare organization but any individual or company acting on that organization’s behalf. As a result, healthcare orgs are looking closely at how to prevent data breaches.
CynergisTek, a leading provider of security solutions for healthcare organizations, has stepped up and taken the lead on providing a new Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solution as a way to prevent PHI from leaving healthcare organizations. Using Code Green Networks TrueDLP cutting-edge detection technology, combined with the company’s analytical expertise, healthcare organizations are eliminating leaks of confidential information especially via channels such as the network, personal email accounts, social media, removable storage and mobile devices.
Sharon Finney, Corporate Data Security Officer at Adventist Health System says, “DLP solutions have traditionally been so cost prohibitive that few organizations are ever able to tackle this issue in a meaningful way. Solutions like CynergisTek’s make thorough DLP analysis and reporting much more accessible. We take a very rigorous approach to evaluating and selecting security solutions, and the CynergisTek offering clearly stood out from the pack as the best combination of quality and value for our organization.”
