CynergisTek & SecureLink Partner to Offer Simple Solution to Better Manage Business Associates

CynergisTek™ announced that it has partnered with SecureLink, a company specializing in the management of remote support from technology vendors, to offer a more robust portfolio of vendor management solutions for healthcare provider organizations. CynergisTek will now offer SecureLink’s product, SecureLink Enterprise, to help its clients manage and limit Business Associate (BA) access to internal systems and ensure compliance with the HIPAA Omnibus Rule.

Enforcement of the HIPAA Omnibus Rule began on September 23, 2013, focusing more attention on BA responsibilities under HIPAA and leaving Covered Entities (CEs) with a desire to have a better appreciation for their BA’s ability to meet their obligations. Given this new regulatory landscape, provider organizations are increasingly seeking outsourced support and turnkey solutions for limiting and documenting a BA’s access to systems in an effort to mitigate risk. With SecureLink Enterprise, CynergisTek customers will now be able to manage their vendors by exercising greater control over who is accessing their system and identify and address suspicious behavior to eliminate unnecessary entry.

“With the advent of the Omnibus Rule, healthcare organizations are under great scrutiny with respect to what safeguards they have in place to protect sensitive data from unauthorized third parties, and impermissible disclosures to BAs,” said Jeff Swearingen, co-founder and CEO of SecureLink. “We are excited to extend our services to CynergisTek’s customers and support them in their compliance efforts with a complete solution that improves overall security while reducing IT costs.”

SecureLink Enterprise gives healthcare organizations complete control, dictating who can have access and exactly what privileges are available for each vendor. The SecureLink Enterprise server authenticates technicians with a unique 2 factor method, encrypts all traffic and enforces an organization’s customized rules. SecureLink Enterprise also has high definition audit that’s tied to individual users. It starts with an e-mail each time someone connects, and then tracks all activity, including files transferred, commands, even video replay of desktop sharing and RDP sessions.

“Appropriate vendor management has become central to ensuring that an entire organization’s security house is in order,” said David Holtzman, vice president of privacy and security, CynergisTek. “We are pleased to offer SecureLink Enterprise to our customers as a comprehensive solution to better manage their third party vendors, and reinforce our commitment to providing the best technology and services available.”
