Therap receives SOC2 Service Organization Controls Report for Service Organizations

Many times when we give an initial presentation to an agency, someone (usually from the legal or business office) asks if we have a “SAS70”. In reality the SAS70 does not exist any more.

Managing your internet security

One of the questions I am asked most when I am presenting to new or prospective Therap customers is, “How can I control what websites my staff go to?”

There are of course many, many solutions. We will, of course, be discussing them all at the Provider Administration Conference (ever get the feeling that you should be signing up?)

Some of the solutions include filtering software, managed networks, kiosk software, and suchlike.
