About ComplyAssistant
ComplyAssistant was founded in 2002 to provide healthcare IT services with a major focus on strategic planning and information privacy and security. The HIPAA final rules were in effect by 2004 and ComplyAssistant began to help numerous healthcare organizations understand how to manage and reduce risk; along with implementation of policies and procedures and their HIPAA program. When the HITECH Act was passed in 2009, ComplyAssistant expanded its services to include Meaningful Use (MU). A number of healthcare organizations began to rely on ComplyAssistant’s expert resources to help guide them towards risk reduction and attestation readiness.
About Sensato
Sensato was founded by CEO John Gomez, who saw a disturbing trend among cybersecurity firms and IT professionals: a focus on protecting data from outmoded stereotypes of hackers. What Gomez knew, and others are learning, is that the cybersecurity threat goes well beyond data: in today’s connected world, attackers have their sights set on critical infrastructure and healthcare. They endanger human lives by infiltrating systems in these sectors. They can. They have. And they will continue.
