AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CynergisTek™, an Auxilio company (NYSE MKT: AUXO) and authority in health information security, privacy and compliance, today announced that a large, integrated health system located in the Midwest has selected its Managed Privacy Monitoring Service (MPMS). Under the terms of the three-year, $750K contract, CynergisTek’s highly-trained IT privacy and security specialists will help implement, evaluate and optimize the organization’s data privacy program.

Given internal resource limitations, many provider organizations struggle to optimally configure, maintain and operationalize privacy technologies and monitoring processes, driving demand for third-party support. CynergisTek’s MPMS leverages a powerful combination of industry-specific expertise and fully automated technology to offer an end-to-end privacy monitoring program that ensures organizational compliance with federal regulations and helps organizations effectively mitigate insider risk.

“Many organizations are still using manual processes for privacy monitoring, which is not only inefficient, but also extremely error prone,” said Mac McMillan, President and Chief Strategy Officer at CynergisTek. “Technology can help mitigate the risk, but only if the processes it’s intended to automate are also addressed. MPMS specifically focuses on establishing the necessary processes that our clients need and the resources that allows them to achieve their privacy monitoring objectives.”

CynergisTek’s MPMS alleviates the technical, administrative, financial and personnel challenges facing providers with a three-tiered approach that creates a holistic solution designed with flexibility to meet the individual needs of each organization. Deliverables of MPMS include: document review, optimization planning, user training, proactive audit and incident reporting, multi-level analysis, and investigation support, among others.
