In 2002, serving as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for a major healthcare system in New Jersey, Gerry knew he had a problem to solve. After years of manually documenting assessments and trying to keep track of thousands of pieces of data, it was time to build a better solution.
Using his experience as a CISO and HIPAA consultant, Gerry worked with his team to create a structured, automated tool for managing governance, risk and compliance in healthcare, and other industries.
Today, ComplyAssistant provides GRC software and healthcare cybersecurity service solutions to over 100 healthcare organizations of all sizes, focusing on HIPAA-HITECH-OMNIBUS, PCI, NIST, and other federal and state healthcare regulations.
Gerry currently co-chairs the NJ HIMSS Privacy, Security, and Compliance Committee and participates in national and local chapter events that include NY, NJ, and Delaware Valley. Gerry regularly writes for healthcare compliance and health IT publications. He’s an active member, contributor, and speaker at industry association events with HIMSS, HFMA, NJPCA, NJAMHAA, and HCCA.
