Overview

About HIPAA

Why structured, proactive security testing is essential for your organization

Definition & Approach

Definition & Approach

HIPAA is the US law that protects patient health information. It applies to healthcare providers, health plans and the business associates that handle their data, including software and service providers outside the US. We assess your environment against the Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules and help you close the gaps.

Key Highlights:
  • Security Rule risk analysis and risk management
  • Administrative, physical and technical safeguard review
  • Business associate and vendor readiness
Business Urgency

Business Urgency

US healthcare customers will not share patient data with a supplier that cannot show HIPAA readiness. A breach of health data can lead to significant penalties, mandatory notifications and a lasting loss of trust.

Defense-in-Depth Architecture

Holistic Protection Across Every Attack Surface

Why you need this

Why you need HIPAA compliance

Key Perspective 1
If you create, receive, store or transmit ePHI for a US healthcare organisation, HIPAA applies to you as a business associate, wherever you are based.
Key Perspective 2
Enterprise healthcare buyers send detailed security questionnaires and ask for evidence of a current risk analysis. Being prepared shortens sales cycles and reduces the risk of fines and incidents.
