Atlanta – August 8, 2019 – Apptega, the award-winning cybersecurity management platform, and Medicus IT, a leading provider of IT consulting services, are announcing today a strategic partnership to streamline cybersecurity and compliance in the healthcare industry.

Medicus IT is known for its vast knowledge and experience in the healthcare vertical, advising medical practices of all sizes on how to establish secure, HIPAA compliant and efficient IT solutions, while continually working alongside clients to manage IT operations, further increasing efficiency and stability.

As healthcare breaches continue to dominate the news headlines, cybersecurity is more critical than ever. Medicus IT turned to Apptega as a comprehensive solution to easily build, manage, and report cybersecurity and its ever-changing healthcare regulations.

Chris Jann, Founder and CEO, at Medicus IT said, “Many of our clients struggled to find consistent cybersecurity and compliance document processes. Apptega has created a solution for practices to store their documentation and schedule ongoing tasks, helpings maintain HIPAA security compliance.”

For healthcare organizations managing multiple security frameworks, intelligent, user-friendly reporting is a core component of adapting to today’s cyber-focused world. Apptega delivers one-click reporting for necessary HIPAA audits, eliminating the hundreds of hours of time typically spent on fulfilling compliance reviews, attestations, board reviews and customer requests.

At its core, Apptega is a break-through, user-focused product, and bringing increased cybersecurity accessibility to healthcare organizations is a user-focused end goal as well. Partnering with leading organizations like Medicus IT brings Apptega’s benefits to millions of consumers who are relying on healthcare organizations to increase their efficiencies in reporting, proactively comply with the latest regulations, and secure confidential information.
