Etiometry Bolsters Data Security by Achieving SOC 2 Compliance

SOC 2 attestation underscores Etiometry’s commitment to robust data protection mechanisms for its hospital customers pursuing cloud technologies

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Etiometry, the leader in clinical decision-support software for high-acuity care teams, has successfully completed its Systems and Organizational Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 examination. As one of the most stringent, industry-accepted compliance frameworks, SOC 2 standards underscore Etiometry’s commitment to security, confidentiality and data integrity, as the company aims to support hospital customers seeking to employ cloud technology.

The SOC 2 framework focuses on the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of data. It is designed to mitigate risk to the unique challenges that healthcare providers – and the vendors they trust – face in handling sensitive patient information. An independent auditor, Dansa D’Arata Soucia LLP, confirmed that Etiometry’s business process, information technology and risk management controls are properly designed and operating as intended.

“In an increasingly interconnected healthcare landscape, it is paramount that we do our part to ensure the security, confidentiality, and availability of patient data,” said Shane Cooke, CEO of Etiometry. “This accomplishment reaffirms our commitment to delivering a secure and trustworthy platform that empowers our clients to operate in the cloud environment with confidence.”

The recent SOC2 designation adds to Etiometry’s existing certifications that support secure development and support practices: ISO-27001 certified IT structure (cybersecurity) and ISO-13485 certified development/deployment/maintenance processes (quality).
