SOC 2 Type II

Aspire Systems is certified for SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. Service Organization Control (SOC) reports represent an independent assessment of internal controls used to build trust and confidence with the recipients of such reports. SOC reports have historically focused on service organizations, however in 2017 the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) redefined the acronym SOC from service organization controls to system and organization controls. Type 2 defines Testing and reporting over the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over a period. Aspire Systems has chosen 1 year period for this testing. It defines criteria for managing customer data based on 5 “trust service principles”—Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality and Privacy and Aspire Systems is certified for SOC 2 type 2 for all the 5 trust principles namely Security, Availability, Confidentially, Processing Integrity and Privacy. Deloitte helped us as service auditors for this assessment.

The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules protect the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information. HIPAA Rules have detailed requirements regarding both privacy and security. The HIPAA Privacy Rule covers protected health information (PHI) in any medium. The Privacy Rule also contains standards for individuals’ rights to understand and control how their health information is used. A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to ensure that individuals’ health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public’s health and well-being, while the HIPAA Security Rule covers electronic protected health information (ePHI). The Security Rule protects a subset of information covered by the Privacy Rule. This subset is all individually identifiable health information a covered entity creates, receives, maintains, or transmits in electronic form.
