An independent review of ERIC’s data security practices, procedures, and facilities cleared the way in 2017 for ERIC to continue to receive federal data on deaths in the United States.
ERIC hired A-LIGN, a data security auditing company, to review its procedures and security practices. After a four-month review, performed by A-LIGN auditors in August, 2017, A-LIGN signed an attestation that ERIC meets the federal standards.
A-LIGN is one of the only companies in the world that is licensed CPA firm, Qualified Security Assessor Company (QSAC), accredited ISO 27001 certification body, certified HITRUST Assessor firm, and accredited FedRAMP 3PAO.
