BARR Advisory to Take the Illusion Out of Security, Compliance at HIMSS23

The cybersecurity and compliance solutions firm will showcase its suite of healthcare compliance services at the global conference in Chicago.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- BARR Advisory will be putting the spotlight on its growing suite of healthcare compliance solutions during an appearance at the 2023 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Health Conference in Chicago.

"Healthcare is all about helping people—and cybersecurity is, too."

Spanning from April 17–21, HIMSS23 will bring together more than 40,000 professionals to explore the intersection of health and technology while connecting with and learning from industry peers.

A cohort of BARR team members will appear at the conference for the third straight year to showcase the firm's healthcare compliance services, which cover common security frameworks and regulations including HITRUST, ISO, SOC 2, and HIPAA.

In addition, BARR attest services manager Steve Ryan will take the stage on Tuesday, April 18, alongside a magical guest to explain how healthcare organizations of all sizes can leverage tools and industry partners to simplify the path to compliance and establish an enduring security environment.

Listeners of Ryan's 20-minute presentation will walk away with a better understanding of:

  • Where to start when attempting to achieve compliance against an industry framework

  • What tools exist to help organizations manage and maintain their security postures; and,

  • How to identify and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure your security strategy remains effective.

"Healthcare is all about helping people—and cybersecurity is, too," Ryan said. "We're excited to have another opportunity through HIMSS to connect face-to-face with like-minded professionals and share strategies for safeguarding patients' data and building long-term cyber resilience."

BARR's appearance at HIMSS23 comes just weeks after the release of an exclusive whitepaper exploring how the new HITRUST Essentials, 1-year (e1) Assessment lowers the barrier to entry for organizations aiming to mitigate the most critical threats to data security.

Ryan's presentation, entitled "Taking the Illusion out of Security and Compliance," is slated for Tuesday, April 18, 2023, at 12:45 p.m. local time in Cybersecurity Command Center Theater A, Booth 4309-4333, Hall A.
