Serial Entrepreneur Launches Platform to Secure Patient Data During Pandemic
Privacy and security technology to address HIPAA noncompliance
LOS ANGELES — Stacy Kirk founded her first company, QualityWorks LLC, after working in the tech space for a decade. The software consulting company specializes in digital transformation, web and mobile application development, and software testing. After experiencing the challenges of establishing a cybersecurity program for her consultancy firm firsthand, Kirk founded her latest venture, Posture.
“I wanted something every business could afford,” Kirk said. “I wanted to create the QuickBooks of privacy and security compliance. Fortunately, our rich background in cybersecurity and process automation allowed us to identify commonalities and automate time-consuming procedures. For a new business, focused on growth and managing expenses, this would normally entail hiring a security consultant for $10,000-plus to set up a program. Our goal is to help small- and mid-sized businesses continue to grow without having to dedicate their limited resources to the regulatory minutia of HIPAA.”
