Protecting Patient
Trust & Data.

Ensure complete compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. We secure ePHI for Covered Entities and Business Associates to prevent costly breaches.

The Three Pillars of HIPAA

HIPAA isn't just about privacy forms at a doctor's office. For digital organizations, it mandates rigorous technical controls to protect Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).

The Cost of Negligence

Fines can reach up to $1.5 Million per year per violation category, not including the reputational damage of a medical data breach.

1. Security Rule

Mandates administrative, physical, and technical safeguards (encryption, access control, logs) to protect ePHI.

2. Privacy Rule

Sets national standards for the protection of health information and grants patients rights over their data.

3. Breach Notification

Requires covered entities to notify affected individuals and the HHS Secretary immediately following a data breach.
