NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C., April 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Medac, a leading Medical Business Management provider dedicated to the revenue cycle management functions associated with the delivery of anesthesia services, announced today that the organization has successfully completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2, Type 2 examination. Medac also announced the successful completion of their 2019 HIPAA assessment, citing all efforts were completed by a professional and independent third-party audit firm, 360 Advanced, Inc.
Completion of the SOC 2 Type 2 examination is widely recognized for demonstrating an organization's commitment to the AICPA Trust Services Criteria, including: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.
Companies that undergo annual SOC 2 examinations are able to demonstrate a substantially higher level of assurance and operationally visibility than those companies who do not, offering Medac an edge over competitors.
"At Medac, security is paramount and is built into every process and procedure. We continue to focus our teams on providing meaningful and robust compliance and security solutions for our customers." says Bellinger Moody, President at Medac, "We are proud that our diligence has brought about another successful SOC examination."
Furthermore, Bryan Hemerka, Chief Information Security Officer at Medac stated, "We understand that compliance and security are best implemented through people, processes, and technologies."
"We continuously educate and re-educate our workforce, implement and refine policies and procedures with security in mind, and invest in technologies that harden our infrastructure to ensure sensitive information is protected."
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, defines policies and procedures required of companies that store, process, or handle electronic protected health information (ePHI).
The HIPAA Security Rule is a United States federal regulatory requirement specifying a series of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for assuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of certain healthcare data. HIPAA compliance has become increasingly mandatory to managed service providers providing services to organizations that store healthcare data.
Medac has maintained compliance initiatives regularly since 2015.
