Cooperative Management and Consulting (Cmac)  is a subsidiary of Cowand Enterprises, Inc.  The mission of Cmac focuses on partnering with public and private healthcare organizations to provide security consulting assessments and services.

Getting serious about SECURITY before you have a data breach or government audit!

Is your organization at risk for a data breach?  Are you in compliance with the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules?  Have you done a security audit on your systems, office, policies and procedures?  Do you provide meaningful annual training to your employees on security and privacy concerns, including red flags for identity theft?  Cmac can provide you and your organization with the tools to educate you and your staff on the latest security laws and compliance requirements, and provide practitioners with the foundation for understanding and embracing change in the healthcare security compliance arena.

Cmac can even teach you how to assess your organization’s risks, identify key qualifications to look for in an IT security consultant, and acquire the foundational knowledge of tools, techniques, and strategies for reaching new heights in one’s practice by focusing on security rather than compliance.
