Nexus-MD Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance

Sunnyvale, CA – October 10, 2024 – Nexus-MD, the leading provider of AI-powered medical imaging workflow automation, today announced it has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance. This certification demonstrates the company's unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security, availability, and confidentiality for its healthcare customers.

The SOC 2 Type II audit, conducted by an independent third-party auditor, evaluated Nexus-MD's information systems and controls over a six-month period. The certification validates that the company's security practices and procedures meet the rigorous standards required to protect sensitive healthcare data and maintain system reliability.

Commitment to Healthcare Data Security

"Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance is a significant milestone that reflects our deep commitment to protecting our customers' most sensitive data," said Dr. Sarah Chen, CEO and Co-founder of Nexus-MD. "In healthcare, trust is paramount. This certification provides our customers with the assurance that their data is protected by industry-leading security controls and practices."

The SOC 2 Type II certification evaluates five key trust service criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Nexus-MD's successful audit demonstrates excellence across all these areas, particularly important given the sensitive nature of medical imaging data and healthcare information.

Comprehensive Security Framework

The certification process involved extensive evaluation of Nexus-MD's security infrastructure, including:

• Data encryption protocols for data at rest and in transit
• Access controls and user authentication systems
• Network security and monitoring capabilities
• Incident response and disaster recovery procedures
• Employee security training and awareness programs
• Vendor management and third-party risk assessment

"The healthcare industry faces increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats," said Michael Thompson, Chief Information Security Officer at Nexus-MD. "Our SOC 2 Type II compliance demonstrates that we've implemented comprehensive controls to protect against these threats while maintaining the high availability and performance our customers depend on."

Building Customer Trust and Confidence

For healthcare organizations evaluating medical imaging workflow solutions, SOC 2 Type II compliance provides critical assurance about data protection and system reliability. The certification is particularly valuable for large health systems and enterprise customers who require the highest levels of security validation.

"This certification gives us complete confidence in Nexus-MD's ability to protect our patient data," said Dr. Lisa Rodriguez, CIO at Metropolitan Health Network. "As we expand our use of AI-powered automation in medical imaging, knowing that our technology partners maintain the highest security standards is essential."

Complementing Existing Compliance Programs

The SOC 2 Type II certification complements Nexus-MD's existing HIPAA compliance program and other healthcare-specific security measures. The company maintains a comprehensive compliance framework designed to meet the unique requirements of healthcare organizations while supporting innovation in medical imaging technology.

Nexus-MD also maintains additional security certifications and follows industry best practices including regular penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and continuous security monitoring. The company's security team works closely with healthcare customers to ensure compliance with their specific regulatory and policy requirements.

Ongoing Commitment to Security Excellence

Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance represents an ongoing commitment rather than a one-time achievement. Nexus-MD will continue to undergo annual SOC 2 audits to maintain its certification and demonstrate continuous improvement in its security posture.

"Security is not a destination but a journey," added Dr. Chen. "We will continue to invest in our security infrastructure and practices to stay ahead of emerging threats and maintain the trust our customers place in us."

About SOC 2 Type II

SOC 2 Type II is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) that evaluates the effectiveness of a company's information systems and controls over time. Unlike SOC 2 Type I, which evaluates controls at a specific point in time, Type II audits assess the operational effectiveness of controls over a period of at least six months.
