Independent Audit Verifies ProntoForms’ Internal Controls and Processes

Ontario, Canada – ProntoForms, a low-code app development platform for field service today announced that it has completed its annual SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA audits. This attestation is evidence of ProntoForms’ continued commitment to delivering a high quality solution with the necessary internal controls and processes for highly regulated industries.

SOC 2 engagements are based on the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria. SOC 2 service auditor reports focus on a service organization’s non-financial reporting controls as they relate to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of a system. KirkpatrickPrice’s service auditor report verifies the suitability of the design and operating effectiveness of ProntoForms’ controls to meet the standards for these criteria.

HIPAA sets a national standard for the protection of consumers’ PHI and ePHI by mandating risk management best practices and physical, administrative, and technical safeguards. HIPAA was established to provide greater transparency for individuals whose information may be at risk, and the OCR enforces compliance with the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. ProntoForms’ compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule demonstrates its commitment to security for ePHI by ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI, protecting against threats, protecting against unpermitted disclosures, and ensuring workforce compliance.

Glenn Chenier, Chief Product Officer, says, “With KirkpatrickPrice, it didn’t feel like we were doing two audits, we just had a larger question set. Working in the portal and with an auditor helped us feel like we had a realistic feel for the project size.”

“ProntoForms delivers trust-based services to their clients, and by communicating the results of these audits, their clients can be assured of their reliance on ProntoForms’ controls,” said Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice.

ProntoForms also decided to extended the scope of its compliance program to include FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11. This regulation, issued by the FDA, sets out security criteria for ERES captured on electronic documents. ProntoForms commented, “Obtaining Part 11 compliance augments our already very strong HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliance story. It demonstrates that we’re committed to growing our compliance footprint and that we take the security of sensitive data collected in the field very seriously. When working with compliance-sensitive companies, like biotech, pharma, healthcare, and medical device organizations, this is imperative.”

Fort Lauderdale, FL – Cannabis software firm BioTrack, a wholly owned subsidiary of Helix Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: HLIX), has completed its SOC 2 Type II audit. BioTrack was the first publicly traded seed-to-sale software company to complete a SOC 2 Type I audit and continues to show its commitment to security by completing the SOC 2Type II audit.

This independent audit of the company’s software system and organizational controls provides assurance that controls relevant to security and confidentiality are suitably designed in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

“When a company or government municipality wants to outsource functions pertaining to operating, collecting, processing, transmitting, storing, organizing, maintaining, and disposing of information, they are often required to validate that the organization is meeting certain standards. BioTrack can now provide that validation through the work of an independent and qualified auditor,” said David Terrell, Chief Technology Officer of Helix Technologies. “SOC 2 is considered a technical audit, but it goes beyond that by requiring companies to establish and follow strict information security policies and procedures, encompassing the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of customer data.”

“Achieving the SOC 2 Type II audit designation is another way we demonstrate our commitment to the safety and security of our government and commercial clients,” said Zachary L. Venegas, CEO and Executive Chairman of Helix Technologies. “As the cannabis landscape continues to grow and evolve at a rapid pace, we remain laser-focused on continuing to provide safe and compliant solutions, mitigating risk and driving real value for all clients.”

The recently issued SOC 2 Type II report from KirkpatrickPrice, a licensed CPA firm, verifies that the controls stated in the description of BioTrack’s system and organizational controls are suitably designed and operating effectively, based on the criteria relevant to security and confidentiality. Joseph Kirkpatrick, President of KirkpatrickPrice, commented, “BioTrack delivers trust-based services to its clients despite the challenges of being in an industry under constant scrutiny. By communicating the results of this SOC 2 Type II audit, BioTrack clients can be assured of their reliance on BioTrack’s controls.”
