HITRUST r2 Certification validates that Accuity is committed to strong cybersecurity and protecting sensitive data.
Accuity, a leading provider of technology-powered, physician-led clinical documentation review services, today announced that its solution residing at Microsoft Azure has once again earned certified status by HITRUST for information security.
HITRUST Risk-based, 2-year (r2) Certified status demonstrates that Accuity’s solution has met demanding regulatory compliance and industry-defined requirements and is appropriately managing risk. This achievement places Accuity in an elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification. By including federal and state regulations, standards, and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.
“Accuity remains laser-focused on the goals, needs, and processes of the health systems we serve. Accuity has now twice achieved HITRUST r2 certification with no corrective actions, a rare achievement and a reflection of Accuity’s dedication to cybersecurity and data protection,” said Todd Van Meter, Accuity CEO.
“Without consistency, transparency, and reliability, an information security assessment can’t provide the requisite level of assurances needed to make important business decisions. That’s why we focus on producing the highest quality reports available,” said Vincent Bennekers, Vice President, Quality at HITRUST. “Achievement of a HITRUST r2 Certification is an assurance that Accuity takes compliance and information risk management seriously.”
Accuity’s HIPAA-compliant and HITRUST Risk-based, 2-year (r2) certification, HITRUST’s most comprehensive and robust HITRUST assessment, provides assurances to clients, regulators, and stakeholders that it has adequate security and privacy controls in place to help manage and mitigate cybersecurity threats and comply with ever-changing regulations. The protection of client data entrusted to Accuity is of the utmost importance; Accuity’s HITRUST r2 certification ensures that Accuity’s information security program and data protections meet the highest industry standards and compliance requirements. Furthering its commitment to privacy and security, Accuity included all three HIPAA factors in its HITRUST r2 Certification to ensure it is as comprehensive as possible.
