Leading Cybersecurity Firm Sees Increased
Demand from Country’s Top AMCs for Range of Services, Including
Risk Analysis, Incident Response, Compliance Offerings and
Information Security
CynergisTek (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in
healthcare cybersecurity and information assurance, today announced
that over the past month, five large Academic Medical Center (AMC)
clients have selected the company to help develop and implement
programs to ensure security, privacy, and compliance alignment.
CynergisTek also announced that several of its existing AMC clients
have recently expanded their contracts to incorporate additional
CynergisTek services to maintain and enhance security, privacy, and
compliance programs.
This news highlights the unprecedented demand CynergisTek is
seeing from AMCs across the country, specifically for its
Professional Services and Compliance Assist Partner Program (CAPP).
CynergisTek has also seen increased interest from AMCs for
additional services that address security and privacy,
including:
- Virtual Chief Information Security
Officer (vCISO): This service provides organizations with an
information security resource that is integrated into the existing
security program without the added expense and administrative
overhead of hiring and training new staff members.
- Incident Response (IR): This service
improves an organization’s ability to respond to a security
incident and ensures organizations have the right technologies,
people and processes in place to respond in an efficient and
effective manner.
- HIPAA Risk Assessment: Using a
NIST-based methodology, this service addresses regulatory
requirements and supports awareness and development of data
security programs, allowing organizations to properly achieve
business goals and implement ongoing risk management programs.
These service offerings supply AMCs with the resources and
guidance they need to effectively maintain and manage security and
privacy programs across the entire enterprise, while helping them
meet compliance goals and ensure maximum readiness for potential
threats.
“Given academic medical centers’ mission of not only providing
quality medical care but also providing medical education and
conducting ongoing research, they face unique data and privacy
challenges and the added difficulty of hiring cybersecurity
professionals that truly understand the nuances of the AMC
environment,” says Mac McMillan, CEO and President, CynergisTek.
“The demand we are seeing from AMCs across the country is a
testament to CynergisTek’s proven expertise in understanding and
tackling the specific privacy and security challenges brought forth
in this dynamic healthcare landscape.”
