SSAE 16 certification demonstrates Solstice Benefits, Inc.'s ability to handle data in a secure, sound environment. A critical component to achieving this certification is an organization's ability to reduce risk and provide clients with controlled security measures.

SSAE 16 is an authoritative guidance that allows organizations, such as Solstice Benefits, Inc., to provide their customers with transparency in their control activities and processes through a standardized report. The SSAE 16 report includes comprehensive reviews of Solstice Benefits Inc.'s network and digital infrastructure security.

Federal regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and organizations such as the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC)—under which Solstice is also accredited—encourage corporations to audit the internal controls of their suppliers, including those that provide benefit services. Through its completion of the SSAE 16 audit, Solstice can provide its customers with an inclusive audit report that facilitates adherence with these and other regulations.

"Our successful audit and SSAE-16 certification is a clear indication that our data is managed with the utmost care," said Carlos Ferrera, Chief Operating Officer at Solstice Benefits, Inc. "Securing our members' personal health information is vital to our business. We are proud to offer our clients peace of mind and assurance that their personal health information is carefully protected."
