Top Cybersecurity Firm and Leading Healthcare
Compliance Analytics Company Establish Preferred Partnership; Will
Work Together to Help Health Systems Safeguard Patient Data
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in healthcare
cybersecurity, privacy, and information assurance, today announced
it has formed a preferred partnership with Protenus, a healthcare
compliance analytics platform that protects patient privacy, to
help health systems nationwide enhance patient privacy monitoring
programs. The partnership will grant health systems access to
Protenus’ robust analytics that leverages artificial intelligence
to gather data related to potential patient privacy risks, along
with CynergisTek’s Patient Privacy Monitoring Service, a managed
service offering designed to implement and maintain an effective
privacy monitoring analytics program with skilled privacy
resources.
According to the Protenus Breach Barometer, insider incidents
accounted for 23 percent of all breaches that occurred at health
systems in Q3 2018. This figure will only continue increasing,
indicating that now more than ever, health systems need a
cost-effective solution to meet the daily challenges of managing
patient privacy. To address this need, CynergisTek and Protenus
formed a preferred partnership to combine CynergisTek’s industry
experience in healthcare consulting and optimization of privacy
programs with Prontenus’ strength in healthcare analytics
technology to offer health systems both the people, processes, and
technology components of a strong patient privacy monitoring
program.
“As health systems face mounting challenges in creating and
maintaining robust patient privacy monitoring programs, we
identified a need to partner with a company offering complementary
services so that health systems can act on the insights uncovered
by our analytics,” said Nick Culbertson, CEO and Co-Founder of
Protenus. “With a long-standing reputation as one of the leading
authorities on healthcare security and privacy, we are confident
that combining our technology with CynergisTek’s know-how will push
the industry forward when it comes to making patient privacy a
priority.”
“Data privacy is evolving as a dominate theme in conversations,
both in healthcare and other industries, and health systems need to
take an end-to-end approach to patient privacy to truly address
this complex and mission-critical challenge,” said Mac McMillan,
CEO and President of CynergisTek. “We’re honored to be entering a
partnership with Protenus as we’ve long admired the robust
capabilities of its AI-powered analytics and believe that by
pairing our expertise and services with its proven technology, we
will be able to help our clients develop the most resilient patient
privacy programs possible.”
