When healthcare becomes more connected and digital, protecting sensitive information is not optional. It is fundamental to earning and maintaining trust.
That is why we are proud to announce that Better by MTA has successfully completed its second consecutive year of independent SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance assessments.
For our members, healthcare providers, partners, and patients, this represents much more than completing another annual compliance process. It demonstrates our continued investment in the security, privacy, and integrity of the Better by MTA platform.
Why SOC 2 and HIPAA Matter
Healthcare platforms can handle highly sensitive information. Organizations using these platforms need confidence that appropriate safeguards are not simply promised, but are built into how the organization operates.
HIPAA establishes important standards for protecting sensitive health information and implementing appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
SOC 2 evaluates the controls an organization has established around areas such as security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, based on the scope of the assessment.
Together, these frameworks help provide a strong foundation for operating a trusted healthcare technology platform.
What This Means for Better by MTA Members
Working with a platform that undergoes recurring independent compliance assessments provides several important benefits:
- Greater protection of sensitive information: Security and privacy controls are designed to help safeguard the information entrusted to the platform.
- Independent evaluation: Our controls and processes are assessed by qualified independent professionals rather than relying solely on our own internal review.
- Continuous accountability: Compliance is not something we complete once and forget. Returning to the assessment process each year requires us to continually evaluate our controls, policies, procedures, and security practices.
- Greater confidence for healthcare organizations: Providers and partners can work with Better by MTA knowing that security and privacy are treated as fundamental operational priorities.
- A stronger foundation for growth: As Better by MTA expands globally, maintaining mature security and compliance practices helps us responsibly support more organizations and patients.
Compliance Is a Continuous Commitment
Perhaps the most important part of this milestone is that this is our second consecutive year completing the process.
Technology changes. Security threats evolve. Platforms grow. New functionality is introduced. For those reasons, security cannot be treated as a one-time project or a certification that simply sits on a shelf.
Recurring assessments help ensure that organizations continue reviewing and strengthening their practices as their technology and operations evolve.
For Better by MTA, that means continuing to invest in our systems, controls, policies, safeguards, and processes year after year.
Trust Is Part of the Platform
Better by MTA was built to help connect patients with healthcare providers around the world. Those relationships depend on trust.
Our continued SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance efforts are part of our commitment to building a platform where healthcare providers, partners, members, and patients can feel confident that security, privacy, and responsible handling of information are taken seriously.
Completing our second consecutive year is an important milestone, but our work does not stop here.
We will continue investing in the security, reliability, privacy, and trust that the Better by MTA community expects.
