London, England: Strata Health, an international leader in the delivery of patient flow technology, has received approval for their submission to the UK National Health Service (NHS) Information Governance (IG) Statement of Compliance (SoC) for fiscal 2010 / 2011. This Statement of Compliance is a key requirement for Strata Health to market its solutions in the UK and aligns to the organization’s active journey to ISO 27001 certification in fiscal 2011 /2012. Submission to the NHS IG SoC is an annual activity and Strata Health is committed to continual improvement and progression from an information governance and security perspective.

“Achieving compliance was not an isolated project for Strata Health, as the NHS IG SoC submission required a company-wide effort due to its all encompassing scope. Fortunately, we were able to leverage the existing work completed for Strata Health’s ISO 27001 initiative which made successful submission a reality.” remarked Adrian Bryksa, Director – Strategic Initiatives at Strata Health.
