Top Academic Medical Centers Partner with CynergisTek to Improve Security and Pr ...

Leading Cybersecurity Firm Sees Increased Demand from Country’s Top
AMCs for Range of Services, Including Risk Analysis, Incident Response,
Compliance Offerings and Information Security

AUSTIN, Texas (BUSINESS WIRE) $CTEK #cybersecurity ― CynergisTek

(NYSE AMERICAN:CTEK), a leader in healthcare cybersecurity and

information assurance, today announced that over the past month, five

large Academic Medical Center (AMC) clients have selected the company to

help develop and implement programs to ensure security, privacy, and

compliance alignment. CynergisTek also announced that several of its

existing AMC clients have recently expanded their contracts to

incorporate additional CynergisTek services to maintain and enhance

security, privacy, and compliance programs.

This news highlights the unprecedented demand CynergisTek is seeing from

AMCs across the country, specifically for its

Professional

and

Compliance

(CAPP). CynergisTek has also seen increased

interest from AMCs for additional services that address security and

privacy, including:

Virtual

Chief Information Security Officer

(vCISO): This service provides
organizations with an information security resource that is integrated
into the existing security program without the added expense and
administrative overhead of hiring and training new staff members.

Incident

Response

(IR): This service improves an organization’s ability to
respond to a security incident and ensures organizations have the
right technologies, people and processes in place to respond in an
efficient and effective manner.

HIPAA

Risk Assessment

: Using a NIST-based methodology, this service
addresses regulatory requirements and supports awareness and
development of data security programs, allowing organizations to
properly achieve business goals and implement ongoing risk management
programs.

These service offerings supply AMCs with the resources and guidance they

need to effectively maintain and manage security and privacy programs

across the entire enterprise, while helping them meet compliance goals

and ensure maximum readiness for potential threats.

“Given academic medical centers’ mission of not only providing quality

medical care but also providing medical education and conducting ongoing

research, they face unique data and privacy challenges and the added

difficulty of hiring cybersecurity professionals that truly understand

the nuances of the AMC environment,” says Mac McMillan, CEO and

President, CynergisTek. “The demand we are seeing from AMCs across the

country is a testament to CynergisTek’s proven expertise in

understanding and tackling the specific privacy and security challenges

brought forth in this dynamic healthcare landscape.”
