"
Our organization engaged SNP Technologies to assist with HIPAA Security regulations. They were meticulous with their review, and presented their findings with thorough documentation. Most importantly, they offered reasonable suggestions to move us towards compliance and, when asked, offered suggestions for our policies and procedures based on their review of our specific organization.
I felt protected and in good hands with SNP. If Allstate Insurance had not already coined the phrase, SNP could say, "When it comes to HIPAA Security compliance you are in good hands with SNP."

IT Security Solutions Benefits
The SNP IT Security Process results in a focus on security in your organization that lowers operational costs and delivers tangible benefits. To be more specific, below we breakdown the benefits along the following lines:
Operational Benefits
Operational Benefits pertain to day-to-day activities and the basic management and control of these activities.
Security streamlines and clearly defines roles and responsibilities making information flow more quickly through an organization.
Security provides checks and balances that reduce internal risks and thus save money.
Security reduces the business impacts of change.
Technical Benefits pertain to the operation of a machine or system.
Firewalls reduce un-needed load on the network saving bandwidth costs.
Anti-Virus software has clear cut cost savings in its reduction of needed interventions by IT personnel.
Anti-Malware saves individuals and companies by reducing the threat of identity theft and having to disclose a breach.
Data Loss Prevention software clearly enhances control of data for legal processes, manages information and backup/recovery of that data into single repositories, and enforces where that data goes which can protect intellectual property.
Encryption reduces costs by reducing the risks, and therefore costs, associated with a data breach and enables collaboration with third parties which is sometimes a forgotten benefit.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) enables remote access which allows staff to work after hours or remotely while traveling and the resource is free.
Risk Management and security compliance means that systems are patched and maintained all in a similar fashion with similar configurations. This leads to huge troubleshooting time saved since systems are less individually customized.
Customers are able to interact with companies quicker and more efficiently than ever when security controls have been put in place.
