HITRUST r2 Certification demonstrates that the organization’s [system or business unit scope] has met demanding regulatory compliance and industry-defined requirements and is appropriately managing risk. This achievement places Encore Healthcare in an elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification. By including federal and state regulations, standards, and frameworks and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.

“As the stakes around data security and privacy continue to rise, our customers need

partners they can truly trust,” said Keisha Harper, COO at Encore Healthcare. “By earning HITRUST r2 Certification, we’ve validated that our systems and processes meet some of the most demanding standards in healthcare—so our clients can move forward with confidence.”

Vincent Bennekers, Vice President, Quality at HITRUST notes: “Without consistency, transparency, and reliability, an information security assessment can’t provide the requisite level of assurances needed to make important business decisions.

That’s why we focus on producing the highest quality reports available. Achievement of a

HITRUST r2 Certification is an assurance that Encore Healthcare takes compliance and

information risk management seriously.”
