C2 COMPUTER SERVICES Achieves HIPAA Compliance With Compliancy Group
C2 COMPUTER SERVICES is pleased to announce that it has achieved compliance with the federally mandated standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) through The Guard® compliance tracking software and HIPAA Seal of Compliance®.
CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., August 19, 2020 (Newswire.com) - C2's good faith effort toward HIPAA compliance through the use of The Guard has been verified by the HIPAA subject matter experts and Compliance Coaches at Compliancy Group.
"I believe that the important intersection between HIPAA compliance and data security is often lost on IT providers working in the healthcare space. Clients are becoming more aware of the requirements of HIPAA compliance. Forward-thinking providers like C2 choose the HIPAA Seal of Compliance to differentiate our services.”
Who has to comply with HIPAA? For businesses that fall under the broad umbrella category of healthcare - from private practice therapists to small doctors’ offices to health insurance companies – then HIPAA compliance is a must. MSPs that have access to their clients' healthcare networks and data must also be HIPAA compliant.
For many of these businesses that outsource their IT needs, the obligation for ensuring HIPAA compliance falls on their IT Managed Services Provider. C2 understands their concerns regarding staying HIPAA compliant and of the possible consequences of a HIPAA violation. Although many companies think primarily about their in-office software and hardware, the truth is that HIPAA extends well beyond those boundaries. For example, if a phone device has access to corporate information or even electronic medical record systems, then that device needs to be HIPAA compliant as well.
C2 understands the differences between healthcare and other industry standards. They understand that each subset of the healthcare industry has unique technology requirements, from RFID, EMR and medical-grade networks that need secure data transmission and a need to focus on a finite set of deliverables to blood banks, imaging clinics, doctor’s offices, billing and administration centers, which all need secure data networking and advanced IT solutions. C2 has strategically positioned itself to help clients in the healthcare market.

HIPAA is made up of a set of regulatory standards governing the security, privacy, and integrity of sensitive health care data, called protected health information (PHI). PHI is any demographic healthcare-related information that can be used to identify a patient. If vendors who service health care clients come into contact with PHI in any way, those vendors must be HIPAA compliant.
