Hord Tipton, CISSP, executive director, (ISC)². “We are grateful to Clearwater Compliance for promoting (ISC)²’s education program, which will provide more localized support for information security professionals seeking the (ISC)² credentials in the U.S.A.”

(ISC)² has introduced the gold standard credential for healthcare security and privacy professionals.”

• The Healthcare Industry
• The Regulatory Environment
