HITRUST r2 Certification Validates Commitment to Strong Cybersecurity and Protecting Sensitive Data

ORANGE, Calif.: The Word & Brown Companies today announced that several systems in use by Word & Brown® General Agency and CHOICE Administrators® have earned Certified status by HITRUST for information security.

HITRUST r2 Certification demonstrates that The Word & Brown Companies’ systems have met demanding regulatory compliance and industry-defined requirements and are appropriately managing risk.

By including federal and state regulations, standards, and frameworks, and incorporating a risk-based approach, the HITRUST Assurance Program helps organizations address security and data protection challenges through a comprehensive and flexible framework of prescriptive and scalable security controls.

“Organizations like ours are continually under pressure to address current and emerging threats and meet complex compliance, information protection, and privacy requirements,” said Word & Brown co-founder John M. Word III. “We are pleased to demonstrate to our business partners, brokers, customers, and employees our adoption of the highest standards for data protection and information security.”

“This achievement – which we’ve earned for the fourth time since 2018 – places our businesses in an elite group of organizations worldwide,” said Word & Brown co-founder Edward J. “Rusty” Brown, Jr. “HITRUST certification is considered the gold standard for its comprehensive security testing, and we’re proud to be recognized for our commitment as we prepare to mark our 40th anniversary year.”

Without consistency, transparency, and reliability, an information security assessment cannot provide the requisite level of assurances needed to make important business decisions. That is why we focus on producing the highest quality reports available,” said Vincent Bennekers, Vice President, Quality at HITRUST. “Achievement of a HITRUST r2 Certification is an assurance that The Word & Brown Companies take compliance and information risk management seriously.”
