Healthcare Cybersecurity & HIPAA Compliance
Healthcare data breaches are surging, and regulators are increasing scrutiny and penalties for any loss of protected health information (PHI), regardless of the cause. To reduce risk and satisfy OCR, you need a documented, implemented, and regularly tested security and privacy program aligned to ARC-AMPE, MARS-E, HIPAA and other leading frameworks.
JANUS Associates helps healthcare organizations protect patient data, maintain clinical operations, and demonstrate defensible compliance, without adding unnecessary complexity to your environment. See how JANUS supports healthcare organizations like yours by meeting with an expert.
