Re: Vendor Onboarding — Security Review Required
Hi Alex,
Our security team has completed the initial vendor evaluation. Unfortunately, we cannot proceed with the contract execution at this time — your organization does not currently hold aSOC 2 Type II report, which is required for all vendors with access to PHI.
The contract will remainpending security reviewuntil this requirement is satisfied.
