Key Services
- SOC Readiness & Examinations
System and Organization Controls (SOC) reports were created to decrease the audit burden on service providers by establishing a standardized report that can be issued to end users. A SOC examination from a reputable firm can be a market differentiator for organizations that want to appeal to a broad range of high-value customers. SOC 1 reports, also known as SSAE 18 reports, are designed for organizations that provide services that impact their customers’ financial statements or internal controls over financial reporting. SOC 2 reports are more technical in nature and focus on one or more trust service principles – security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. SOC 2 reports are relevant to service organizations that are relied upon for the operational needs of their customers or for protecting sensitive customer data. Learn more about SOC examinations and which SOC report is right for your organization.

- Healthcare Compliance
Organizations that store or process health information or act as business associates are required to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to protect the privacy and security of protected health information. During a HIPAA Gap Analysis, our experienced team evaluates organizations against the HIPAA framework, creates a customized control framework, and identifies and prioritizes areas of noncompliance. Organizations can also opt to achieve certification through HITRUST, a leading framework that provides a comprehensive approach to managing risk and meeting regulatory requirements for healthtech and healthcare organizations. Our HITRUST readiness assessment services can help your organization prepare for HITRUST’s rigorous requirements. Our goal through each of our healthcare compliance service offerings is to help organizations be responsible stewards of personal health information and decrease the risk of fines and penalties resulting from regulatory audits or security breaches.
