Athletico

"Athletico began its partnership with BluTinuity and Scott Owens in 2013 with a simple HIPAA Security Risk Assessment. At that time, we had roughly 75 physical therapy clinics in the greater Chicago area. Since then, Athletico has grown to over 600 clinics in 14 states, and with this growth, we have experienced a complex, challenging, and ever-changing organizational risk profile. BluTinuity has helped our team understand the risks, develop information security requirements and controls, and grow its Information Security, Business Continuity, and Incident Response programs to scale with the business. We value Scott’s expertise and would highly recommend BluTinuity as a trusted advisor."

US Health Center

"US HealthCenter engaged with Scott Owens of BluTinuity in 2020 to provide a comprehensive Security Risk Assessment for compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. While confirming that US HealthCenter was positioned well for HIPAA compliance, we also learned many valuable insights into improving our security environment. BluTinuity’s approach was to start with mentoring our team through the entire process so we better understood the HIPAA requirements, but the approach also led us to a higher objective of developing a stronger information security posture and culture within US HealthCenter. They shared a variety of mature tools and templates to streamline our security procedures. We highly recommend BluTinuity as a consulting firm to guide your information security and compliance programs."

WebPT

"BluTinuity has been a trusted, strategic, security and technology partner of WebPT for 4 years. We originally were introduced to Scott Owens through our health law attorney when WebPT was in need of a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis to comply with the HIPAA Security Rule. The experience was excellent and we learned a great deal about our infrastructure, our teams, and a smart, pragmatic approach to security compliance. Since then, we have engaged BluTinuity to provide Security Risk Assessments as part of our acquisition due diligence process as WebPT has grown, as well as for disaster planning and tabletop exercises. We rave about his services."
