SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ClearCare Online, a leading provider of SaaS and mobile technology platform solutions trusted by over 4,000 home care agencies, today announced it has earned Certified status for information security by HITRUST.

HITRUST CSF Certified status demonstrates that ClearCare Online has met key regulatory requirements and industry-defined requirements and is appropriately managing risk. This achievement places ClearCare 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 CSF helps organizations address these challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.

"ClearCare has always taken security and privacy very seriously.  As the home care industry connects to healthcare providers and payers, our industry demands this level of rigor and formal certification."

"The HITRUST CSF Certification is now the benchmark that organizations required to safeguard PHI are measured against with regards to information protection."
