BluePrint Healthcare IT Announces CareSpeak Achieves HITRUST CSF™ Certification
CRANBURY, N.J. (PRWEB) October 31, 2017 -- BluePrint Healthcare IT’s client, CareSpeak Communications, recently achieved HITRUST CSF™ Certification for Information Security and Compliance.
HITRUST CSF™ Certified Status confirms that CareSpeak and its Mobile Health Messenger Platform meet key healthcare regulations and requirements for protecting and securing sensitive protected healthcare information. By including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST CSF™ helps organizations address these challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.
As an Approved HITRUST CSF™ Assessor, BluePrint Healthcare IT guided the CareSpeak Communications team through an exhaustive analysis of existing security and privacy measures, strengthening policies and procedures as needed.
“Achieving HITRUST CSF™ Certification is a very involved and arduous task. Blueprint's experience in navigating through the HITRUST CSF™ and their partnership in helping enhance our security plan and practices was invaluable. They were effectively an extension of our Security Team, always there when we were uncertain how to proceed, and an excellent partner who guided us through the process,” stated Krešimir Nesek, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of CareSpeak.
“We’re very proud of CareSpeak’s accomplishment, as well as of our partnership to guide them through their HITRUST CSF™ Certification journey. CareSpeak Communications focuses on intelligent health messaging, providing patients with an effortless way to manage their healthcare information through an advanced digital health platform. Achieving HITRUST CSF™ Certification is evidence of their dedication and commitment to superior security,” added Vikas Khosla, President and CEO, BluePrint Healthcare IT.
