Secure data enables us to provide diagnostic solutions for large public and private organizations committed to protecting their populations, noted Toni Nandwana, CISO at Primary.Health.

The HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls by including federal and state regulations, standards, and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach.

HITRUST certification provides the highest level of assurance for the healthcare industry, which has greater risk exposure for patient data and systems due to protected health information, data volumes, regulatory compliance, and other risk factors.
