PK Tech Completes HIPAA Compliance Process with Compliancy Group for Third Year
Megan Schutz May 6, 2022
PK Tech has continued to demonstrate its good faith effort toward HIPAA compliance by completing Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA compliance process.
PK Tech is pleased to announce that it has taken all necessary steps to prove its good faith effort to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Through the use of Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA solution, The Guard™. PK Tech can track its compliance program and has earned its Seal of Compliance™. The Seal of Compliance is issued to organizations that have implemented an effective HIPAA compliance program through the use of The Guard.
HIPAA is made up of regulatory standards governing the security, privacy, and integrity of sensitive healthcare data called protected health information (PHI). PHI is any individually identifiable health care-related information. If vendors who service healthcare clients come into contact with PHI, those vendors must be HIPAA compliant.
PK Tech has completed Compliancy Group’s Implementation Program, adhering to the necessary regulatory standards outlined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, Omnibus Rule, and HITECH. Compliancy Group has verified PK Tech’s good faith effort to achieve HIPAA compliance through The Guard.
“We’re proud to obtain this seal of compliance for another year. Working with several companies in the healthcare space, we deeply understand the necessity of proper HIPAA practices related to technology. We hope with this recognition, we can continue providing quality IT security services to businesses subject to HIPAA,” PK Tech owner and founder Jordan Hetrick commented.
Clients and patients are becoming more aware of HIPAA compliance requirements and how the regulation protects their personal information. Forward-thinking providers like PK Tech choose to earn the Seal of Compliance to differentiate their services.
