PreferredMD Achieves SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA compliance

August 29, 2024

We are excited to announce that PreferredMD Solutions has successfully completed SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA compliance for our platform, www.preferredmd.io. This significant achievement underscores our commitment to data security, privacy, and operational excellence.

What is SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA Compliance for ASC?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is an industry-standard audit conducted by independent third parties to evaluate an organization’s controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of data. Type 1 compliance assesses the suitability of the design of these controls at a specific point in time.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance, on the other hand, ensures that organizations handling Protected Health Information (PHI) adhere to strict guidelines to protect patient data's privacy and security.

Achieving both SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA compliance is a testament to our proactive approach in ensuring that the data entrusted to us by our healthcare clients, especially those in ASCs, is protected by the highest standards. These compliances are crucial for companies like ours that handle sensitive information, particularly in the healthcare industry, where the protection of patient data is paramount.

What This Means for ASCs and Our Clients

This accomplishment provides PreferredMD Solutions clients, especially those operating Ambulatory Surgery Centers, with increased confidence that PreferredMD operates with a robust and secure infrastructure designed to protect their data. It demonstrates that PreferredMD has the necessary controls in place to meet the strictest regulatory and industry requirements, ensuring both SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA compliance.

By achieving these compliances, PreferredMD is not only aligning with best practices but also reinforcing dedication to maintaining the trust our clients place in us every day. Our ASC clients can rest assured that we are committed to continuous improvement and will persist in upholding the highest standards in data security.

What’s Next for PreferredMD Solutions Security for ASCs?

While achieving SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA compliance and HIPAA security risk assessment is a significant milestone, it is only the beginning. We are now actively working towards achieving SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, which will assess the effectiveness of these controls over time. This ongoing commitment ensures that our data protection measures are not just a point-in-time snapshot but are consistently upheld and improved, particularly for ASCs that require stringent data security.

Thank You for Your Continued Trust

As we continue to grow and evolve, our clients’ trust remains our most valuable asset. We are proud to have achieved SOC 2 Type 1 and HIPAA compliance and look forward to continuing to provide secure, reliable, and innovative solutions to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers.  Thank you for being a part of the PreferredMD Solutions journey.
