I was initially overwhelmed with the amount of work our small organization needed to accomplish to develop a Privacy and Security program to meet a regulatory requirements. With the help of CSB IT Solutions, we were not only able to meet these requirements, but also develop some best practices for our organization. In addition, Chris and his colleagues conducted staff training that was clear, enjoyable, and comprehensible for all levels of personnel. As consultants they were highly knowledgeable, thorough, organized and responsive. It’s been a pleasure working with CSB IT!

Christopher Baldwin from CSB IT Solutions was “the right prescription” for Prima CARE, a large multispecialty medical group in Massachusetts. From his initial assessment of our complex needs to the crafting of an expert and customized security document, Chris addressed everything from general security to high-tech HIPAA considerations. Our Security Steering Committee was quickly educated and organized, and Chris then gave us the tools to implement our program today and to maintain our program in the future.
