DALLAS, TEXAS - October 7, 2024 - Care Mountain Inc., a trusted provider of in-home care services in Texas and nationwide remote patient monitoring solutions, proudly announces its achievement of the SOC 2 certification, the healthcare industry's highest standard in information and data security.
The SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) certification, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is the gold standard for organizations handling sensitive client information, such as healthcare data. Achieving this certification demonstrates Care Mountain's commitment to maintaining the highest security standards, protecting sensitive healthcare information, and safeguarding patient privacy.
The healthcare sector is grappling with an alarming rise in data breaches, with a sharp increase in HIPAA violations. A staggering 133 million patient records were compromised in 2023, a 256% rise from 51.9 million in 2022, as reported by the HIPAA Journal in December 2023. These breaches underscore the importance of adopting robust data security frameworks like SOC 2.
The SOC 2 framework assesses an organization’s security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy controls, known as the Trust Service Criteria. By adhering to these rigorous standards, Care Mountain Home Care Allen ensures that its systems protect client data from unauthorized access, breaches, and cyber threats.
Gagan Bhalla, CEO of Care Mountain, commented: “A core principle for any trusted healthcare provider today is an unwavering commitment to safeguarding patient health information and having robust processes in place to handle patient-generated health data. Over 80% of hospitals and health plans integrate industry standards like SOC 2 and HITRUST into their operations, preferring to work with partners that take HIPAA breaches and cybersecurity seriously. Yet, less than 5% of the nation’s leading post-acute care providers have invested in achieving such high information security standards. We are proud to be one of them.
"Continuing our legacy of two decades as a healthcare provider with the highest standards of care—exemplified by our CHAP and Medicare certifications—achieving SOC 2 certification adds yet another layer of trust for the patients we serve, their families, and the healthcare partners we work with daily.”
With this latest achievement, Care Mountain Allen reinforces its leadership in healthcare innovation, combining exceptional patient care with robust security protocols to protect sensitive health data across the continuum of care.
