Demonstrating symplr's continued commitment to cybersecurity and
data protection
HOUSTON, July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Responding to the
increasing rate of cyberattacks on health systems, symplr®, a
leading provider of enterprise healthcare operations software, has
effectively obtained System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type
II for 29 symplr products and validated HIPAA Security and Privacy
Risk requirements. symplr's CEO, BJ Schaknowski, has also signed
and committed the company to the Department of Homeland Security's
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Secure by
Design initiative.
"At symplr, we are steadfast in our
dedication to customers to ensure healthcare workers have more time
to focus on patient care, and security has a big role in that,"
said Saeed Valian, Chief Information
Security Officer at symplr.
With security incidents costing health systems an average of
$10.1 million, healthcare
organizations as well as U.S. government agencies are increasing
their expectations of technology and software vendors to protect
their data and avoid system downtime. Secure by Design, HITRUST,
and SOC controls demonstrate the gold security standard sought by
hospitals and healthcare organizations as assurances that partner
and vendor security measures safeguard sensitive data.
"At symplr, we are steadfast in our dedication to customers to
ensure healthcare workers have more time to focus on patient care,
and security has a big role in that," said Saeed Valian, Chief Information Security Officer
at symplr. "While recognizing there are inherent risks, we take
proactive measures to help strengthen our security protocols and
continually improve. Our Secure by Design pledge, SOC 2
attestations, and HITRUST recertification for symplr solutions
underscore our dedication to preventing and protecting against
future threats by safeguarding sensitive data, recognizing that
healthcare systems cannot afford disruptions."
