Expands Strength in Data Security and
Governance to Improve Engagement Between Patients, Providers and
Payers
Acxiom® (Nasdaq: ACXM), today announced it has expanded its
strength in data security and governance by earning Certified
status for information security by the Health Information Trust
(HITRUST) Alliance. By achieving HITRUST CSF Certified
Status—widely considered as the gold standard for privacy and
security certification in the healthcare industry—Acxiom’s Shared
CDI Workflow Grid, which powers its identity resolution solutions,
meets key healthcare regulations and requirements for protecting
and securing healthcare information.
Traditionally, HITRUST CSF Certification has been applied for,
and awarded to, healthcare-specific organizations whose focus is
the handling of HIPAA and other patient-level compliant grade data.
By going through the rigorous certification process, Acxiom has
further strengthened its commitment to the healthcare industry.
Acxiom’s solutions allow clients to harness the power of data to
strengthen connections and determine identity in a
privacy-compliant way along the continuum of care between patients,
providers and payers. By protecting patient identity across the
ecosystem, Acxiom helps providers and payers engage in secure and
relevant patient interactions.
“With the patient at the center of the healthcare industry, the
privacy and security of all data associated with that individual
are protected by complex compliance requirements such as HIPAA,
NIST, ISA and COBIT,” said Heidi West, vice president of healthcare
at Acxiom. “The HITRUST CSF adds another layer of safeguards, and
Acxiom is pleased to be able to demonstrate its commitment to
ethical data use by achieving this prestigious accreditation.”
HITRUST CSF Certified status indicates Acxiom’s Shared CDI
Workflow Grid has met stringent industry-defined requirements to
appropriately manage risk, and it places Acxiom in an elite group
of global organizations that have earned this certification. By
including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks
as well as incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST CSF
helps organizations address privacy challenges through a
comprehensive set of security controls.
“The HITRUST CSF has become the information protection framework
for the healthcare industry, and the CSF Assurance program is
bringing a new level of effectiveness and efficiency to third-party
assurance,” said Ken Vander Wal, chief compliance officer at
HITRUST. “The CSF Certification is now the protection benchmark
against which organizations required to safeguard patient health
information are measured. By taking the steps necessary to obtain
HITRUST CSF Certified status, Acxiom is distinguished as a company
people can count on to keep their information safe.”
