Independent Validation of Our Security Controls Through SOC Audits

Protecting client and patient information requires more than policies, it requires controls that are designed appropriately and operate effectively. System and Organization Controls (SOC) examinations provide independent assurance regarding the controls that service organizations have established to manage risk and protect their systems and information entrusted to them.

APS maintains a SOC 2 Type II report, providing an annual independent assessment of applicable controls based on the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria. Unlike a point-in-time assessment, a Type II examination evaluates both the design and operating effectiveness of controls over a defined period of time. SOC 2 examinations can address controls relevant to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. For an organization entrusted with sensitive healthcare and financial information, this rigorous evaluation provides our clients with additional assurance that security, risk management and data protection are embedded into our operational environment.

Our SOC 2 Type II reporting reflects APS' ongoing commitment to maintaining a strong control environment and safeguarding the information entrusted to us by pathology, laboratory, radiology and other healthcare organizations.
