More details about the HIPAA Audit Program emerged as KPMG wins contract to perform audits, as reported by Howard Anderson, Executive Editor, HealthcareInfoSecurity.com in his article titled “HIPAA Audit Program Details Emerge.”

The chances of your healthcare organization being audited by KPGM may sound small or unlikely because they are only expecting about only 150 audits to be completed by the end of 2012.  Just think for a second- what if your organization was one of the 150 selected- are you prepared to pass the HIPAA Audit Program?  If not, are you prepared to face possible fines or run the risk of being made an example to other healthcare organizations?

Viewfinity has helped EagleMed, LLC comply with HIPAA compliance mandates with its award winning Privilege Management solution.  After locking down PCs and moving to a least privilege environment while using Viewfinity Privilege Management to manage administrator rights, EagleMed has been able to effectively prevent the sharing of patient data.  Also, EagleMed is widely reducing the security risks introduced through malware. The successful and meaningful deployment of Viewfinity Privilege Management at EagleMed has won them the 2011 Info Security Products Guide Best Deployment Scenario Award.

 Don’t delay, get started now on the path of complying with HIPAA.

Viewfinity’s Privilege Management Solution was recognized last week for its role in helping government agencies comply with federal mandates, specifically those related to USGCB/FDCC compliance that have been put in place to reduce IT security risks at the desktop level. Viewfinity provides governmental IT security and operations professionals with a cost-effective solution to protect and control your desktops as related to USGCB/FDCC mandates while minimizing the impact on the end user community.  We do this by introducing granularity to desktop permissions and privilege access management by offering solutions to manage and control least management rights based upon segregation of responsibilities.

Prestigious Award Recognizes Most Promising Private Technology Ventures

WALTHAM, MA, June 15, 2010 - Viewfinity (www.viewfinity.com), the innovator of privilege and systems management, announced today it has been selected as a Finalist for Red Herring's North America 100 award, a prestigious list honoring the year’s most promising private technology ventures from the world North American business region.

Finalists for the 2010 edition of the Red Herring 100 North America award are selected based upon their technological innovation, management strength, market size, investor record, customer acquisition, and financial health. During the several months leading up to the announcement, hundreds of companies in the telecommunications, security, Web 2.0, software, hardware, biotech, and clean tech industries sent in their submissions to qualify for the award.

"This year was especially difficult," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "Despite the global economic situation, there were many great companies producing really innovative and amazing products that we had a difficult time narrowing the pool and selecting the finalists. Viewfinity shows great promise therefore deserves to be among the Finalists. Now we’re faced with the difficult task of selecting the Top 100 winners of Red Herring North America award. We know that this year’s crop will grow into some amazing companies that are sure to go far."

“We are honored that our unique approach to privilege and systems management is being recognized by the Red Herring judges,” said Gil Rapaport, President of Viewfinity. “In these tough economic times, IT professionals need a way to better control desktop operating environments and to reduce resolution times without adding additional IT staff. Viewfinity does this for both stationary and mobile users through its true native remote privilege and systems management capabilities.”

The Red Herring editorial team selected the most innovative companies from a pool of hundreds from across North America. The nominees are evaluated on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, quality of management, execution of strategy, and integration into their respective industries.

This unique assessment of potential is complemented by a review of the actual track record and standing of a company, which allows Red Herring to see past the “buzz” and make the list an invaluable instrument for discovering and advocating the greatest business opportunities in the industry.
