Screen GP Americas, a division of Screen Graphic Solutions Co., has completed its SOC 2 (System and Organization Control) Type I audit, performed by KirkpatrickPrice, a licensed CPA firm specializing in information security and committed to thorough audits.
This attestation provides evidence that Screen GP Americas has a strong commitment to security and to delivering high-quality services to its customers by demonstrating they have the necessary internal controls and processes in place.
Additionally, Screen has completed its HIPAA Security Rule audit. This independent review, also by KirkpatrickPrice, of Screen’s information security control structure demonstrates their compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule.
An SOC 2 audit provides independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet industry standards stipulated by the AICPA, the American Institute of CPAs. During the audit, a service organization’s non-financial reporting controls as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system, are tested.
The SOC 2 report delivered by KirkpatrickPrice verifies the suitability of the design of Screen Americas’ controls to meet the standards for these criteria.
“We know how important information security is to our customers,” says Ken Ingram, president of Screen Americas. “The entire Screen organization is constantly striving towards higher levels of security. It is one thing for us to say we provide secure services…it’s another to provide independent verification from an expert. We’ve gone through one of the most rigorous security audits in the industry, SOC 2, to demonstrate our commitment to compliance.”
“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria. Screen GP Americas has selected the security and confidentiality criteria for the basis of their audit,” explains Joseph Kirkpatrick, president of KirkpatrickPrice. “Screen GP Americas delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, their clients can be assured of their reliance on Screen GP Americas’ controls.”
Screen GP Americas plans to pursue a SOC 2 Type II report in 2020, further demonstrating its commitment to compliance.
In performing Screen’s HIPPA Security Rule audit, KirkpatrickPrice explains that The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets a national standard for the protection of consumers’ Protected Health Information (PHI) and electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) by mandating risk management best practices and physical, administrative, and technical safeguards.
