SmartLight Analytics Achieves HIPAA Compliance with Compliancy Group

SmartLight Analytics has demonstrated compliance with federal HIPAA regulation by completing Compliancy Group’s proprietary 6-Stage HIPAA Risk Analysis and remediation process.

SmartLight Analytics has achieved compliance with the federally mandated standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) through the use of Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA methodology, The Guard® compliance tracking software, and HIPAA Seal of Compliance®.

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 health care-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.

“HIPAA compliance matters to SmartLight Analytics because it follows a strong code of ethics that SmartLight believes in and follows. Making sure patient data is secured is very important to our business and a promise we make to our customers,” said SmartLight Analytics CEO Asha George.

SmartLighthas completed Compliancy Group’s Six Stage Implementation Program, adhering to the necessary regulatory standards outlined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, HIPAA Security Rule, HIPAA Breach Notification Rule, HIPAA Omnibus Rule, and HITECH. These standards have been heavily vetted against the letter of the law and meet federal NIST requirements. SmartLight’s good faith effort toward HIPAA compliance with The Guard has been verified by the HIPAA subject matter experts at Compliancy Group.

The HIPAA Seal of Compliance is issued to organizations that have implemented an effective HIPAA compliance program using The Guard, Compliancy Group’s proprietary compliance tracking solution.

“The HIPAA Seal of Compliance re-enforces SmartLight’s commitment to take every step needed to protect our customer’s data,” George said. “Compliance with HIPAA is of the utmost importance to our practice.”
