Mom’s Meals, as a food manufacturer in the healthcare industry, viewed pursuing a HITRUST Certification as a way to demonstrate that it takes security to heart. Since we did not have internal subject experts, Mom’s Meals realized that a partnership with ecfirst was paramount to a successful journey to achieve HITRUST Certification.

From the start of our project, ecfirst provided guidance and insight on the HITRUST Certification process. Mom’s Meals had a very aggressive project timeframe and ecfirst worked with us to complete the project within that timeframe.
