Flash Parking Achieves Industry-First HITRUST Certification, Elevating Data Security Standards

Flash, a pioneering parking technology company, has distinguished itself by becoming the first parking technology provider to achieve HITRUST Certification for its Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems (PARCS) and Valet solutions. This milestone represents a critical advancement in data security and compliance within the parking technology sector.

The HITRUST Certification validates Flash's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data protection, a crucial consideration for industries handling sensitive information. Notably, 81 percent of U.S. hospitals and health systems rely on HITRUST standards, making this certification particularly significant for healthcare-related parking services.

By aligning its security frameworks with those of healthcare clients, Flash reduces implementation complexity and mitigates potential risks. The certification provides assurance to patients, visitors, physicians, and staff that their personal information remains secure from the moment they enter a parking facility.

Flash's CEO Dan Sharplin emphasized the company's dedication to reimagining parking experiences with security as a primary focus. The certification demonstrates the company's ability to manage complex compliance requirements on behalf of parking operators and owners.

The achievement builds upon Flash's already robust security credentials, including 11 consecutive years as a Level 1 Service Provider under Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The company's cloud-based platform can process over 500 million transactions annually in a secure environment that minimizes risks of data loss, disruption, or corruption.

A key technological advantage is Flash's cloud-based system, which enables seamless security updates and routine system checks. These updates can be implemented within minutes, ensuring continuous compliance with PCI and HITRUST standards.

Flash has already earned the trust of major medical districts and healthcare systems across significant metropolitan areas, including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, New York City, and others. This HITRUST Certification further solidifies the company's position as an innovative leader in parking technology, particularly in sectors requiring stringent data protection.

The certification represents more than a technological achievement; it signals a broader industry trend toward prioritizing data security and user trust in technology-driven parking solutions. As digital ecosystems become increasingly complex, Flash's proactive approach to security sets a new benchmark for parking technology providers.
