InComm Achieves HITRUST CSF® Certification to Further Mitigate Risk in Third-Party Privacy, Security and Compliance

ATLANTA, June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- InComm, a leading prepaid product and payments technology company, today announced that two of its business units, InComm Healthcare & Affinity and InComm Digital Solutions*, have earned HITRUST CSF^® Certification status for information security from HITRUST, a non-profit organization whose mission is to champion programs that safeguard sensitive information and manage information risk.

InComm Healthcare & Affinity's OTC Supplemental Benefit and Directed-Spend Incentive & Rewards card programs are HITRUST CSF Certified and meet key regulations and industry-defined requirements. The OTC Supplemental Benefit is a health plan-sponsored prepaid card that allows Medicare-Advantage members to use their benefit dollars to purchase CMS-compliant products at local retailers. The Directed-Spend Incentive & Rewards program allows health plans to build a customized member incentive program around health and preventative behaviors, and deliver the rewards via a prepaid card used to purchase prequalified health and wellness items at retailers.

InComm Digital Solutions provides an innovative technology platform that allows brands and distributors to sell, promote and deliver gift card products in digital and physical formats. It also provides a robust web-based reporting administration tool (Back Office) that provides 24/7 access to detailed sales, order and transaction reporting.

"This certification underscores our deep commitment to serving our healthcare partners at the highest level," said Phil Graves, President of InComm. "They dedicate a great deal of time and resources to mitigating risk around third-party data security, so we pursued HITRUST CSF Certification to help make that process easier for them."

HITRUST CSF Certification status demonstrates that InComm Healthcare & Affinity and InComm Digital Solutions have met key regulations and industry-defined requirements and is appropriately managing risk. This achievement places them in an elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification. By including federal and state regulations, standards and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST CSF Certification helps organizations address these challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.

"The HITRUST CSF Certification has become the information protection framework for the healthcare industry, and the CSF Assurance program is bringing a new level of effectiveness and efficiency to third-party assurance," said Ken Vander Wal, Chief Compliance Officer at HITRUST. "The HITRUST CSF Certification is now the benchmark that organizations required to safeguard PHI are measured against with regards to information protection."
