Data for Health Care Technology Leader

BASKING RIDGE, N.J. and NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The TriZetto Group Inc., a leader in health care technology solutions serving nearly half of the insured population in the United States, announced Wednesday (June 18) that it has maintained the Verizon Business Security Management Program (SMP) Cybertrust Enterprise Certification.

By meeting the program's standards, TriZetto continues to uphold high levels of security, while mitigating risk and validating its processes for safeguarding the confidential health care data of more than 100 million health plan members. The company first earned the Cybertrust Certification in 2002.

The Security Management Program is designed to help businesses take a proactive approach to security by reducing risk across an entire organization. Working closely with customers, Verizon Business reviews information security measures and synergistically addresses a broad range of security needs, from network and system analysis to security policy inspection.

Of the more than 1,000 businesses and government agencies whose information security measures have been reviewed under the program, only about half received the Cybertrust Certification, which must be renewed annually.

The security certification demonstrates that TriZetto's information security controls for its hosting centers, where its full suite of health care software applications resides, have been examined, measured and validated against a stringent set of security standards designed to protect against malicious attacks and other cyber threats. Stringent security controls have been implemented at these facilities to help enable the secure flow of data between TriZetto's millions of health plan members and 30 leading health care payer organizations.
