Minneapolis, MN – TechGen has demonstrated its good faith effort toward HIPAA seal of compliance by completing Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA compliance process.
TechGen is pleased to announce that it has taken all necessary steps to prove its good faith effort to achieve compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Through the use of Compliancy Group’s proprietary HIPAA solution, The GuardTM TechGen can track their compliance program and has earned their Seal of ComplianceTM.

HIPAA is made up of a set of regulatory standards governing the security, privacy, and integrity of sensitive healthcare data called protected health information (PHI). PHI is any individually identifiable healthcare-related information. If vendors who service healthcare clients come into contact with PHI in any way, those vendors must be HIPAA compliant.
TechGen has completed Compliancy Group’s Implementation Program, adhering to the necessary regulatory standards outlined in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, Omnibus Rule, and HITECH. Compliancy Group has verified TechGen’s good faith effort to achieve HIPAA compliance through The Guard.

- Security Self-Audits (Security Standards, Asset and Device, Physical Site, and Security IT Risk Analysis)
- Documented a good faith effort to comply with the administrative, physical, and technical safeguard requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule
- Set forth in 45 CFR 164.308, 164.310, and 164.312, respectively
The HIPAA Privacy Standards Self-Audit, documented a good faith effort to comply with the Privacy Rule standards.
