Visions Completes SOC 2 Type 2 Plus HITRUST CSF Examination
DE PERE, Wis. (PRWEB) May 08, 2018 -- Visions, one of the largest, Native American owned, direct marketing and print manufacturing providers in the United States, has successfully completed a Service Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 2 plus Health Information Trust Alliance Common Security Framework (HITRUST CSF) core requirements examination (SOC2+HITRUST.) The audit was performed by Assure Professional - a leading cybersecurity, assurance and compliance solutions provider. Visions’ print and fulfillment system is SOC 2+HITRUST compliant, by the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA.)
“Governance, risk, and compliance are necessary in every business, but many lack the commitment to establish the required internal framework to meet these challenges. It is admirable to see that Visions has taken this matter to heart, and has invested in improving their internal control environment, to address these matters that impact their own operations and delivery of services to its clients,” said Juan Vargas, Assure Professional, Senior IT Security Auditor.
The SOC 2+HITRUST report is a collaboration between HITRUST and the AICPA, that utilizes the HITRUST CSF controls as the base framework, combined with the SOC 2 criteria for each of the Trust Services Principles (TSP) of security, availability, processing integrity, and confidentiality, to test the efficiency of an organization’s security and privacy practices. Compliance is determined by tests and reports conducted by a qualified, independent auditor, on the structure and operational soundness of a service organization’s controls, over a period of six months to a year. The audit accounts for the system of the data center, and the suitability of its design of controls, as reported by the company. The audit also includes verification of an auditor’s opinion on the operating effectiveness of the controls.
Visions’ successful completion of the audit process confirms their current information security policy is aligned with the requirements of Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements 16 (SSAE 16) SOC 2 Type 2 protocol, as well as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 quality management system and Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP.)
"Data is the most valuable customer asset we handle at Visions, and we're proud to provide this high level of security," said Jon Otto, Visions’ President/CEO. "When it comes to the customer experience, we’re committed to continuously improving our processes while maintaining the highest standards for protecting sensitive customer data.”
