OneNeck IT Solutions Finishes HIPAA and HITECH Examination
MADISON, Wis. (PRWEB) April 19, 2018 -- Today, OneNeck® IT Solutions announces the independent examination of their HIPAA and HITECH compliance attestations is now complete. The examination for compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act Security Rule of 2003 (HIPAA) and the Health Insurance Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) included scrutiny of OneNeck’s physical and administrative security controls.

- Administrative safeguards
- Physical safeguards
- Technical safeguards
- Breach notification
“For our healthcare clients, attaining HIPAA and HITECH attestations offers reassurance that we have the tools in place to protect and secure their patient data,” said Dave Flynn, SVP of Operations and Engineering at OneNeck. “At the same time, it allows our clients to center their focus on the security and administrative controls at the application and data layer.”
Completion of the HIPAA and HITECH examination follows recent OneNeck announcements noting completion of the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and SSAE 18 examination.
