Contigo Technology is certified in multiple disciplines to help you stay compliant with the organizations relative to your operation.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA)
HIPAA compliance is critical for multiple reasons. It protects the privacy of a patient’s personal health information (PHI) by ensuring it is secure from theft or unauthorized access. In addition, staying compliant means organizations avoid potential penalties and fines for violating HIPAA regulations.
