HIPAA Meaningful Use

Many providers who have failed audits as of late 2016 have done so because of inadequate or nonexistent HIPAA risk assessments, which are required under meaningful use.
Penetration Testing

To protect your customer data, corporate data, and reputation, ATA Technologies provides Penetration Testing to evaluate your risks.
Penetration testing offers many benefits, allowing you to: Intelligently manage vulnerabilities, Avoid the cost of network downtime, Meet regulatory requirements and avoid fines, And preserve corporate image and customer loyalty.
Security breaches and service interruptions are costly.
Security breaches and any related interruptions in the performance of services or applications can result in direct financial losses, threaten organizations’ reputations, erode customer loyalties, attract negative press, and trigger significant fines and penalties.
It is impossible to safeguard all information, all the time.
Traditionally, organizations have sought to prevent breaches by installing and maintaining layers of defensive security mechanisms, including user access controls, cryptography, IPS, IDS, and firewalls. However, continued adoption of new technologies has made it harder to find and eliminate all of an organizations’ vulnerabilities and protect against potential security incidents.
Penetration-testing identifies and prioritizes security risks.
Pen-testing evaluates an organization’s ability to protect its networks, applications, endpoints, and users from external or internal attempts to circumvent its security controls to gain unauthorized or privileged access to protected assets.
Vulnerability Assessments

Identifying, quantifying and prioritizing security vulnerabilities within your organization can be a difficult process without the proper methodology, skills and tool sets. ATA Technologies can illuminating these vulnerabilities, as well as provide the appropriate mitigation procedures, helping to reduce and eliminate vulnerabilities to an acceptable level of risk.

Social Engineering Services
Social Engineering relies on a set of technological, psychological, and physical techniques that trick a user into breaking security protocols. We will work with your organization with our safe, approved, and authorized replications of email-based attacks on targeted employees to test end user Security Awareness of Phishing, Spear Phishing, and other Social Engineering attacks.
Phishing
Phishing occurs when an attacker masquerades as a credible source, and sends an email requesting that a user performs an action (ex: clicks a URL, or opens an attachment) and conveys confidential information. Spear-Phishing is similar, but the attacker targets specific individuals and includes relevant information to appear even more convincing.
Vishing
Malicious attackers will attempt to call various individuals or groups to gather information about a target or in order to influence an action. For example, a common scenario would involve a hacker calling a help-desk to request that a new account be created.
Impersonation
Pretexting as another person or presenting a false identity can allow an attacker to gain access to information, facilities, or secure systems.
SSAE18 Auditing
SSAE 18 became the new reporting standard for service organization reports dated on or after May 1, 2017. Previously SSAE 16 has been in effect since June 15, 2011 which superseded SAS 70 in 2011. This new standard was implemented to provide clarity to previous reporting standards and is designed to improve the quality and usefulness of SOC reports. These attestation standards establish requirements for performing and reporting on examination, review, and agreed upon procedure engagements that enable practitioners to report on subject matter other than financial statements. All assurance work on SSAE18 Auditing is done by Alexander Thompson Arnold, PLLC.
