Security

US HealthTek understands your concerns regarding security.  

US HealthTek meets the requirements for SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance standards, and we conduct regular audits to ensure the data in our systems, applications and network is always protected. 

What is SOC 2?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls type 2: Trust Services Criteria) is a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations, developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which specifies how organizations should manage customer data. The standard is based on the following Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, privacy.  To meet the SOC 2 requirements for privacy, an organization must communicate its policies to anybody whose data they store.  Certification is issued by auditors when a vendor complies with one or more of the AiCPA’s trust principles based on the policies and processes in place. 

What is HIPAA? 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that requires standards to be in place to protect a patient’s sensitive health information or ‘protected health information’(PHI).  It outlines that a patient’s PHI cannot be disclosed without their consent or knowledge.  HIPAA certification means that a healthcare organization meets the standards of privacy security and breach notification rules of HIPAA.  Again, certification is issued by a third-party auditor when an organization’s practices meet the HIPAA requirements.
