DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Validic™, the leader in health data solutions for remote monitoring and virtual engagement, today announced it has received the ISO/IEC 27001: 2013 security certification. The certification follows a rigorous third-party auditing process and underscores Validic's dedication to maintaining the most comprehensive, industry-leading data security standards.

As Validic continues to expand its data science and connectivity capabilities, this certification ensures adherence to industry-leading security standards – protecting the four million connected lives Validic supports and the billions of data transactions Validic manages each month.
