Protecting sensitive data requires a relentless approach to information security. Because CSS routinely handles Personally Identifiable Information, Protected Health Information, and other sensitive business information, CSS emphasizes strong privacy and information security controls in every facet of our work. To keep information secure, we use proven technologies to secure data, continually train our workforce, and base our enterprise Information Security program on the HITRUST Common Security Framework.

We maintain a stellar information security program, but given the ever-changing threat landscape, we never sit still. Using state-of-the-art tools, internal expertise and external independent security resources, we constantly review our security program, probe our systems for vulnerabilities, and challenge our workforce to maintain the strongest possible security posture.

CSS's Health Research Performance Measurement Services and Web Portal systems have earned and maintained HITRUST Risk-based 2-year Certification, demonstrating that these systems have met key regulations and industry-defined requirements and are appropriately managing risk. This achievement places CSS in an elite group of organizations worldwide that have earned this certification.
