About eHealthSecurity
Bryan Miller of Syrinx Technologies and Cathie Brown of IT Governance Solutions have joined forces in a strategic alliance to provide data security services to the healthcare industry. Their principal service offering is a HIPAA Security & Privacy Risk Assessment, aimed at helping providers and facilities determine the security status of their IT systems, and to harden the security of their patients’ health information.
[Syrinx Technologies’] process was very well organized and they worked collegially and efficiently with our staff to gather the necessary information about our operations.
They helped us identify several areas of potential risk and provided us with pragmatic recommendations to resolve the issues. In addition, they affirmed several of
the areas where we thought we had sufficient controls in place. I would highly recommend eHealthSecurity to any physician practice who is considering a EHR project or who is concerned about changing privacy regulations.”
