A Their Story conversation with John Overbaugh (ASG), Michael Tiemeyer (Teladoc Health), and Michael Parisi (VP of adoption at HITRUST)
Having built and brought to market hundreds of products throughout my career, I know how powerful it can be when an organization is rallied behind something that matters. Think about the feeling you get when you achieve what you set out to achieve. Taking responsibility for what we build and how we secure it matters. Especially in the ways we talked about during today’s Their Story episode? It matters to the business partners. It matters to the customers. And, as pointed out by Mike Parisi during this conversation, it matters to society.

There are many reasons why organizations large and small choose HITRUST to help them through their security, risk, and compliance journey.
Why do you choose HITRUST?
“HITRUST certainly saves us a lot of time, money, and effort because it has been recognized in the industry as there is so much rigor behind it. It covers such a wide swath that [our business partners] know that everything’s been looked at and there are no dark shadows or places to hide. It’s all transparent. It’s out there.”
“I’ve been engaged with HITRUST since about 2012 through a number of organizations. In each its instance, as organizations have achieved HITRUST certification, that becomes a selling point. It’s an endorsement from a recognized third party organization that really contributes to the reputation and the brand of the company that that achieves that certification.”
“It takes cross organizational support and effort to get it done. But that payoff is is fantastic. When that letter of HITRUST certification shows up and you get to forward that off to the leadership team in your organization and say ‘we did it, we’ve hit that bar, we’ve earned our certification!’ it’s a great feeling to see that go across the whole company. It is really acting as a galvanizing force to help mitigate risks and mature our company overall. So it’s working quite well.”
“This is what I like about the HITRUST I1 because it allows companies to focus on security — where the rubber hits the road — with an emphasis on actual implementation, not just tailored to the scope of the company, but also tailored to the current threat landscape.”
“It has been a positive experience for me to use the HITRUST CSF to really bring our company together in a really meaningful way. It really acts as that galvanizing force for us to become one company. Case in point, HITRUST was a major driver for us taking all the legacy companies we’ve acquired to ensure we didn’t have siloed policies and procedures.”
