SendQuick Confirmed as HIPAA Compliant

Compliancy Group has confirmed that the secure mobile messaging solution provider, SendQuick, has demonstrated compliance with the federally mandated standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and has been awarded the HIPAA Seal of Compliance.

SendQuick’s mobile messaging solutions, which include IT alerts & notifications, secure remote access via multi-factor authentication, business process automation, enterprise messaging broadcast, and automated call tree systems, have been adopted by corporations in more than 40 countries, including many Fortune 500 firms in the banking, finance, insurance, manufacturing, retail, government, education, and healthcare sectors.

Providers of software and communications solutions that come into contact with protected health information are classed as business associates under HIPAA. As such, they must ensure that their products incorporate safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI and that they are fully compliant with all appropriate standards and implementation specifications of the HIPAA Rules.

To ensure full compliance with HIPAA and HITECH Act standards and implementation specifications, Singapore-based SendQuick Pte Ltd partnered with Compliancy Group and used the company’s proven HIPAA compliance methodology, which includes a 6-stage HIPAA risk analysis and remediation process. SendQuick was able to track progress on its compliance journey using Compliancy Group’s proprietary software solution – The Guard.
