26 Jan Meet HITRUST CSF Certification
Looking for the Highest Levels of Security for Safeguarding Protected Data? DATAMATX Has It!
Cybersecurity matters now more than ever as new cyberthreats seem to crop up on a weekly basis. We know the best approach to avoid ever experiencing a data breach is, of course, prevention. Just this month, the U.S. Congress passed the H.R. 7898 bill or “HIPAA Safe Harbor” encouraging organizations to implement strong cybersecurity practices to protect customer data, specifically health records. It also recognized organizations with a HITRUST CSF Certification for doing the right thing in demonstrating compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule.
We are happy to report that DATAMATX achieved the HITRUST CSF Certification in Spring of 2020, making us leaders amongst our competitors when it comes to offering the highest level of data security. The HITRUST CSF certification is one of the most thorough certifications available offering a Common Security Framework that consists of 270 requirements across 19 domains ranging from access controls and business continuity to risk management and data protection and privacy. HITRUST CSF emphasizes the importance of both program development and third-party assessment, making this certification superior to others when it comes to proving the efficacy of a program with respect to securing customer data.
While HITRUST CSF was originally intended to help healthcare organizations and address HIPAA security requirements, it now aligns with other industry standard cybersecurity frameworks, including ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NIST 800-53 and the NIST Cyber Security Framework. This means, the HITRUST CSF certification not only makes DATAMATX an asset to our healthcare clients, but also an asset across multiple industries that manage data-sensitive communications, such as insurance or financial services.
It is important for everyone in business today to stay alert to new threats and security innovations. Safely delivering our clients mission critical customer communications is a priority for us, which made achieving the HITRUST CSF certification a non-negotiable component of our security program. With the HITRUST CSF being one of the most highly respected certification programs, having achieved the rigorous requirements and continued audits of this program demonstrates our commitment to you that you can count on DATAMATX to always maintain the strongest security infrastructure for ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your data. With out a doubt.
