Evolt 360 strengthens health data security

In the wake of recent high-profile cyber attacks, health monitoring technology company Evolt 360 has undertaken extensive auditing and documentation of processes to ensure best practices are followed to prevent, detect and repair any threats and vulnerabilities to data security.

The health-tech organisation has also completed the ISO/IEC 27001 certification as part of an ongoing commitment to meeting the highest global information security standards.

The audit activities included verifying the effectiveness of the company’s hardware, software, networks and physical facilities, testing processes and controls in place to manage incidents and ensuring staff are adequately vetted and trained on delivering services securely.

In announcing the new status, Kelly Weideman, Chief Innovation Officer of Evolt, said, “As recent high-profile cyber incidents have demonstrated, all companies large and small are susceptible to data breaches.

“Independently audited and certified under the ISO 27001 standard, a global benchmark for information security management, we’ve embedded the best possible data security practices into our everyday operations.”
