Built on Trust: KONZA Health’s Commitment to Secure Data Exchange
KONZA Health recently completed its latest round of security and compliance validations. This includes DirectTrust Health Information Exchange (HIE) Midterm Accreditation, the HITRUST Interim Assessment, and ongoing MARS-e Controls Attestation.
Together, these validations show more than a one-time achievement. They confirm that KONZA Health actively maintains three recognized security and compliance frameworks. As a result, partners can trust that data is protected, governed, and exchanged with consistency.
KONZA Health maintains:
- DirectTrust Accreditation (since 2021), which supports trusted and secure data exchange
- HITRUST Certification (since 2023), which provides a comprehensive and actively managed security framework
- MARS-e Attestation (since 2024), which aligns with CMS safeguards for protecting sensitive health data
Because of this, KONZA Health continues to deliver reliable data that supports better decisions and stronger outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem.
What this means in practice:
Trusted data at the point of care
DirectTrust accreditation ensures that data moves securely and can be used with confidence when it matters most.
Ongoing accountability, not a one-time certification
The HITRUST Interim Assessment confirms that KONZA Health continues to meet evolving security and privacy requirements. In other words, certification is actively maintained, not just earned once.
Aligned with national standards
The HITRUST CSF framework brings together requirements from HIPAA, NIST, and other regulatory bodies. Because of this alignment, organizations benefit from a consistent and standardized approach to data protection.
Confidence for partners and providers
Healthcare organizations, payers, and partners can rely on KONZA Health to deliver secure, accurate, and timely data. This supports care coordination, quality initiatives, and operational decisions.
Why DirectTrust accreditation matters:
DirectTrust focuses on trusted exchange, including identity assurance, secure communication, and governance. When combined with HITRUST certification, it reflects a broader standard. That standard covers both how data is protected and how it is exchanged.
Security and compliance are not just technical requirements. Instead, they form the foundation for high-quality, connected care. By maintaining these frameworks, KONZA Health continues to build trust across the healthcare ecosystem.
What this means for you:
KONZA Health enables secure, compliant, and connected data exchange. As a result, organizations can make better decisions, collaborate more effectively, and improve patient outcomes.
These validations reflect ongoing work, not a finish line. KONZA Health continues to advance interoperability, strengthen trust, and support a more connected healthcare system nationwide.
