Health Management Associates (HMA), a leading independent, national healthcare consulting firm today announced that it has successfully completed a Service Organization Control Type 2 (SOC 2 Type 2) audit.
The SOC 2 Type 2 audit was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to evaluate an organization’s information security controls over a period of time. It assessed both the suitability of HMA’s controls and its operating effectiveness, covering the HMA organization as a whole, service offerings, resources used to deliver client work, and technical (cybersecurity) and non-technical controls (administrative strengths such as excellent training and a culture that promotes anti-fraud and ethical behaviors).
“Increasingly, completing a SOC 2 Type 2 audit is an important distinction for many of our clients and partners,” said Doug Elwell, chief executive officer. “Achieving this with no material findings across the firm is yet another way to meet client needs and further demonstrates our commitment to our core values of accountability, client commitment and integrity.”
