Business Wire
CynergisTek added a five-hospital health system
to its client roster to provide its privacy expertise to help
manage the organization’s patient privacy monitoring program.
CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping healthcare organizations navigate emerging security and
privacy issues, focusing on creating true partnerships, today
announced a new four-year agreement with a Southern U.S. based
five-hospital health system, an increase from the company’s
standard three-year term, to provide proactive and reactive Patient
Privacy Monitoring Services (PPMS).
CynergisTek’s Patient Privacy Monitoring Service assists in
solving the challenges healthcare organizations face in keeping
patient information out of the wrong hands. Clients often turn to
CynergisTek to assess, build, and manage their access monitoring
programs for a number of reasons, including time constraints,
limited budget, recruitment and retention issues, or the need to
bolster their internal team with resources who are trained on the
ever-changing regulatory requirements with real experience.
CynergisTek’s privacy team applies its experience gained across
multiple healthcare systems to assist clients in early detection of
privacy issues and avoidance of compliance problems to act as a
force multiplier in the constant battle to protect patient
privacy.
The highest rates of sanctions are associated with incidents
involving individuals from the same household, user self-access,
and same last name case types as reported in CynergisTek’s State of
Healthcare Security and Privacy 2021 Annual Report. “We focus on
helping our clients navigate the millions of rows of data and
hundreds of thousands of patient accesses each year to determine
which users have violated company policies and provide training on
best practices to avoid serious incidents,” said Andrew Mahler,
Director of Privacy Services at CynergisTek. He goes onto say “We
look forward to serving our new client and the fact that they
signed a four-year agreement, is a testament to our reputation in
the market and the value in having a true partner in your corner.
We anticipate the demand for managed privacy services will grow as
IT security and privacy teams seek to collaborate on protecting
their patients and the organization from attacks.”
