CynergisTek’s Second Quarter Renewals and Contract Expansions Exceed Firm’s Expectations

CynergisTek,
Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in healthcare cybersecurity,
privacy, and compliance, today announced that it has experienced a
strong start to the second quarter by experiencing a 100% renewal rate
for its Compliance
Assist Partner Program (CAPP) customer contracts, including several
hospitals such as Martin
Luther King Jr. Community Hospital in Los Angeles, CA and Legacy
Community Health in Houston, TX. Additionally, several of
CynergisTek’s CAPP customers expanded their relationship by adding on
additional privacy and cybersecurity services and offerings, including Patient
Privacy Monitoring Services (PPMS) and Virtual
Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO). This 100% renewal rate
and service expansion highlights the value and benefit CynergisTek
continues to provide to healthcare entities on an ongoing basis.

Ransomware and cyberattacks are on the rise, with constantly expanding
attack methods and impact capabilities; healthcare is one of the top
targets. In fact, a recent
study showed healthcare companies currently report one-in-four of
all cyberattacks in the United States. It is for this reason that
hospitals and health systems across the nation—from smaller, private
hospitals, to larger, multi-hospital health systems serving millions of
customers—continue to look to CynergisTek as a trusted partner to help
strengthen and maintain privacy, security, and compliance programs.

“Cybersecurity threats affect all entities across the healthcare
ecosystem and we do not see any signs of this slowing down—in fact, this
year we have already seen greater demand for our offerings and strong
interest in our newer service offerings like medical device managed
security services,” said Mac McMillan, CEO and President, CynergisTek.
“Provider organizations often don’t have the resources they need to
protect their organization from complex cyberattacks on their own,
requiring them to lean on the assistance of a reliable security partner.
CynergisTek is that trusted partner organizations are looking for; we
have the proven experience and capabilities to provide our customers
with the security, compliance, and privacy services they truly need so
that they can focus on the core mission of providing superior patient
care.”

CynergisTek’s CAPP provides privacy, security, and compliance expertise
to help healthcare organizations mature security programs through
routine assessments, testing, and ongoing advisory services. Working
with CynergisTek, provider organizations can access the critical support
needed to supplement internal resources in order to deploy and maintain
successful cybersecurity and privacy programs.
