Will Deliver Greater Security and Privacy to Healthcare Provider Customers who
Deploy Electronic Medical Records


ITASCA, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Laurus Technologies, an IT consulting and professional services firm based in
Itasca, IL, announced today its participation in the FairWarning®Ready Solution
Partner Program, enabling Laurus to deploy, service and resell FairWarning®`s
industry-leading healthcare privacy monitoring solutions. Laurus will offer
greater security and privacy measures to hospitals and healthcare providers for
their electronic medical records, resulting in greater peace-of-mind for
patients that their medical records are kept private. Laurus is one of seven
nationwide solutions providers chosen to participate in FairWarning`s® program.

"Healthcare providers are under increasing pressure to safeguard patient data,"
said Dave Durbin, Partner, Business Development at Laurus Technologies. "They
must concern themselves with requirements imposed by HIPAA, the Health
Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and
agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Health and Human Services
(HHS), and the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). These initiatives have
imposed an incredible amount of responsibility and accountability on providers
in environments that have hundreds of applications and thousands of users that
create, store and manipulate protected health information."

Laurus is substantially strengthening the ability of healthcare providers to
meet regulatory requirements, prevent inappropriate access to patient
information and automate compliance with privacy provisions. With FairWarning®
certification, Laurus Technologies can dramatically ease the effort required to
spot suspicious activity and report on unauthorized access to PHI while tracking
authorized access for accounting disclosure requirements.

"We share Laurus` goal of helping healthcare providers improve privacy
surveillance," said Shane Whitlatch, senior vice president of global alliances
at FairWarning®. "We are pleased that Laurus Technologies sees the value in our
solution for its healthcare customers."

The announcement marks the latest advancement in healthcare solutions from
Laurus Technologies. In addition to working with FairWarning®, Laurus recently
partnered with ThinIdentity Corporation to provide virtual desktop
infrastructure solutions that help improve caregiver workflow, reduce medical
errors and significantly improve workflow for doctors and nurses.
