Atlanta and Georgia healthcare companies must protect sensitive patient data from cybercriminals, especially concerning Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI).

The comprehensive nature of HITRUST CSF allows enterprises to meet the multiple compliance requirements of various data protection and risk management standards. For this reason, it is crucial to work with an experienced provider to drive the process.
