HIPAA has several security and privacy requirements related to patient health information (PHI) including the HIPAA Security Rule. Within this rule are specific guidelines for PHI created, collected, stored, and transmitted (or received) electronically (known as ePHI). Failing to comply with the Security Rule can be damaging to businesses that could face civil and criminal penalties, significant fines, litigation costs, damage to their corporate brand, and loss of consumer confidence. Since the compliance date of the Privacy Rule went into effect in April 2003, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights has received more than 331,100 HIPAA complaints.
Ensuring your organization correctly implements and maintains compliance to the HIPAA Security Rule can be challenging and costly, especially when internal employees lack the skills, training, or security expertise in this area. By partnering with Fortra’s Alert Logic for your HIPAA compliance needs, you’ll have integrated cloud-based security, analytics, and a team of experts to implement a broad range of HIPAA security controls across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments, all done at a fraction of the total cost of managing in-house.
