Ensuring absolute security in the way we handle customer information has been one of the top priorities for us at HealthAsyst. And, this is exactly why we are delighted to receive the SOC 2 Type II Certification. Last year, we had received the ISO 27001 certification. It is indeed a true testament to the measures and controls that we have adopted over the years to ensure complete protection of customer information.
Is SOC 2 certification a big deal?
SOC (System and Organization Controls) 2 compliance is a component of the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA)’s Service Organization Control reporting platform. It aims to ensure that all systems in an organization are set up so they assure security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and complete privacy of customer data. To put it simply, the requirements for SOC 2 certification are extremely rigid and rest assured that any organization which is certified has stringent measures in place to protect privacy.
Why SOC 2 compliance is non-negotiable
For healthcare organizations, SOC 2 Type II certification is a non-negotiable ask from any software provider they intend to work with. A Type II certification means that the organization has gone through a rigorous assessment by a third party to ensure it meets all the 5 core trust principles laid out by the AICPA. Today, we are seeing increasing instances of data theft, malware and extortion around the world. Working with a SOC 2 Type II certified provider means that all measures and controls are in place, which offers healthcare providers a great degree of confidence and peace of mind. At HealthAsyst, we feel proud to receive this certification which only cements our commitment to ensuring complete and absolute privacy of data while working with our customers.
