Square 9 Softworks has successfully recertified in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and System and Organization and Controls 1 (SOC 2).

HIPAA certification is essential to working with health-care organizations as it ensures compliant organizations have taken proper steps to ensure the security and privacy of all health records and individually identifiable information. It also requires that organizations have an effective remediation plan in place in the event of a data breach in accordance with the HiTech Act. SOC 2 certification builds on that by ensuring that proper controls and audit measures have been implemented to ensure the security of all data being housed by compliant organizations.

"The data privacy and security of our customers' information are among the top-most priorities for us at Square 9," said Stephen Young, president and CEO, Square 9. "By recertifying our compliance to these regulations and providing transparent documentation regarding the process, we are giving customers and partners peace of mind and confidence that their data is in good hands."

Square 9's HIPAA and SOC 2 recertifications strengthen Square 9's commitment to security and confidentiality for its customers, including those that store or process personal health information.
