SOC 2 + HIPAA
Combines data security-focused framework of SOC 2 with the specific requirements for safeguarding protected health information
What is it?
The SOC 2 + HIPAA service combines the robust, data security-focused framework of SOC 2 with the specific requirements for safeguarding protected health information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
This dual-compliance offering is designed for healthcare service providers or any organization handling PHI that seeks to demonstrate the highest level of security and privacy controls, ensuring compliance with both privacy regulations and security standards.
