FIREMON DELIVERS

Centralized Firewall Management & Continuous Compliance

While facing a demanding audit schedule, Convey Health Solutions decided to adopt the Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) Common Security Framework (CSF), a certifiable framework that provides organizations with a comprehensive, flexible, and efficient approach to regulatory compliance and risk management. Convey chose FireMon to help achieve HITRUST CSF as well as alleviate the effort and timeframe of compliance audits through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.
