Vālenz^® Health, a leading platform of integrated cost containment and payment integrity solutions, announces that its VPoint™ provider credentialing solution has attained SOC 2 Type II security certification. This demonstrates Valenz Health’s strong commitment to data security, verifying that the necessary internal controls and processes are in place to significantly minimize risk of data breaches and other costly vulnerabilities.

The SOC 2 audit provides an independent, third-party validation that a service organization’s information security practices meet the high industry standards stipulated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SOC 2 Type II reports are the most comprehensive certification within the SOC protocol.

The rigorous, long-term audit tests an organization’s non-financial reporting controls in relation to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system. The SOC 2 Type II report for VPoint, delivered by KirkpatrickPrice, verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of Valenz Health’s internal controls to meet the standards for these criteria as part of its high-quality client services.

“We are proud to attain this significant security certification, as it underscores our unwavering commitment to protecting sensitive customer and partner data,” said Srini Achukola, Chief Information Officer of Valenz Health. “In an increasingly data-driven healthcare industry, the SOC 2 Type II attestation is critical to establishing transparency and trust in today’s market.”

“The SOC 2 audit is based on the Trust Services Criteria,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice. “With its VPoint solution, Valenz Health delivers trust-based services to its clients, and by communicating the results of this audit, its clients can be assured of their reliance on VPoint’s controls.”
