SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- pMD, the innovation leader in health care technology, has successfully completed its second SOC 2^® and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) security audits.

SOC reports provide an analysis of a service organization's internal controls so users can better understand the risks associated with sharing sensitive information with an external organization. The final reports provide pMD customers with the assurance of strict information security policies and procedures. These include the security, availability, processing, integrity, and confidentiality of customer data. The HIPAA report determined pMD is in compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule requirements, HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requirements, and  Minimum Necessary requirements of the Privacy Rule.

"We are extremely excited to have achieved Type II SOC 2 and HIPAA certifications this year," said Clayton Hoefer, Software Engineering Manager at pMD.
