Elemental Earns “Up and Comer” Honor Due to the Breadth of Functionality in its Integrated Policy and Risk Management Solution for Healthcare Organizations
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) June 11, 2006 -- Verity Professionals and their Information Security partner Elemental Security, Inc., today announced that their Elemental security and compliance platform has been named as an “Up and Comer” in the healthcare market in Healthcare Informatics magazine’s 2006 “Healthcare Informatics 100 Issue”.
Healthcare Informatics defines “Up and Comers,” as those firms whose innovative technology is shaping the future in healthcare. Healthcare Informatics editors handpicked this year’s winning “Up and Comers” based on the strength of their technology, and their focus on optimizing clinical and other computing processes for end-users and their patient-care organizations.
According to Healthcare Informatics, “Fourteen months after the company began signing contracts, its early developers were right to insist on breadth of functionality. No other security solution combines policy management (with over 2,000 rules codified), user-activity inventorying, host configuration, and network access, into a single integrated solution. Elemental’s solution can not only automatically identify the rogue application, but take action, severing network access. The need for hospitals – as well as others – to respond to expanding regulatory data protection mandates will only continue to grow.”
The Elemental Security Platform (ESP) policy framework contains more than 2,000 rules and a rich set of predefined templates to address best practices, regulatory, and security requirements. These collectively enable organizations to easily measure their performance against key security policy objectives, and provide a framework to help organizations improve their compliance with such regulations as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Based on the U.S. Government’s implementation resource guide – the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-66 – Elemental’s HIPAA policy framework enables healthcare providers, universities, and other organizations which handle patient health information to adhere to HIPAA best practices for network access control, host security configuration management, and systems and software inventory.
