ST.
GEORGE, Utah, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- American Logistics, a national
leader in high-quality transportation management for the healthcare
industry, today announced their fifth straight year of Common
Security Framework (CSF) certification with HITRUST, and their
System Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2) certification with the
Association of International Certified Professional Accountants
(AICPA).
"We are pleased to yet again receive the industry-leading
HITRUST certification, which emphasizes our attentiveness to
security, privacy, and regulatory responsibilities and objectives,"
said Craig Puckett, Chief Executive
Officer for American Logistics. "Achieving HITRUST certification
requires years of planning, control selection, assessment,
remediation and policy revision, which ultimately means that the
systems we have put in place to secure data have been validated by
an objective, robust level of scrutiny."
HITRUST is a non-profit organization formed specifically to
create and maintain assessments to help manage and mitigate
cybersecurity threats and comply with ever-changing regulations
through a comprehensive framework of prescriptive and scalable
security controls. The initial comprehensive process took almost
two years to achieve the highest level possible. American
Logistics' compliance with new releases each year ensures and
sustains the privacy and security of patient data.
Additionally, American Logistics has secured SOC 2 certification
from the AICPA, a professional organization for Certified Public
Accountants. This rigorous examination meets the needs of a broad
range of users who require detailed information and assurance about
the controls at a service organization, ensuring the security,
availability, and integrity of the systems used to process users'
data, as well as the confidentiality and privacy of the information
processed by these systems.
"The SOC 2 certification provides clients the ultimate
confidence to know we are protecting their data to the highest
industry standards," says David
Peterson, Chief Information Officer for American Logistics.
"We've institutionalized protection of member data as evidenced by
our more than 12 years of HIPAA compliance, to ensure that both
clients' and our own internal environments are safe."
Data breaches are increasing, and the growth of technology in
the health industry relies on both security and compliance.
Certification examination reports are laborious and intense to meet
the requirements that every company creating software for the
healthcare/pharma industry must follow.
