Millennium Systems International (MSI), provider of Meevo 2, the leading cloud-based growth platform built exclusively for the beauty and wellness industries, announces company-wide HIPAA Compliance. For more than 30 years, MSI has been a leader in developing innovative software solutions, supporting hundreds of thousands of beauty professionals in the salon and spa industries.
Becoming HIPAA compliant further compliments the already high standards of protection and privacy offered in Meevo 2.
“For MSI to achieve 100% HIPAA compliance, all current employees were trained and educated on the importance of safeguarding Protected Health Information (PHI). If a salon, spa, or medspa (medi-spa) is required to adhere to HIPAA standards, MSI offers the Meevo 2 platform allowing them to do so,” explains Christopher Shannon, Director of Information Technology, “A Business Associates Agreement (BAA) would be executed in order to declare the client as a covered entity and outline our roles and responsibilities as the software provider.”
Hosted by Amazon Web Services’ Secure Cloud architecture, Meevo 2 offers a high-level security standard and convenient experience for salon and spa owners to serve their clients. Meevo 2 boasts adjustable security settings, allowing business owners and managers to identify the level of access for each member of their staff by role, adjust on-and off-premise restrictions, hide client history, and grant global access for multi-location business’.
