The healthcare sector, achieving data leak prevention is a top priority since they are under constant scrutiny from laws such as HIPAA, which require protection from outside as well as inside threats in order to protect patient data.
The healthcare industry is dependant on efficiency and security, more than any other industry. With HIPAA regulation in place since 1996 (further revised in 2003), they are also required to safeguard and implement strict access rights to their patient data.
The Simple Encryption Platform (SEP) was designed to give you the ability to achieve information security compliance by utilizing a modules-based platform. With SEP, you can start small and grow your IT-security infrastructure as the need arises, eliminating the need to "purchase everything at once".
The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) focuses on the protection of electronic patient healthcare data and information.
It provides specific recommendations for access control, risk analysis, data disposal and data encryption. It also requires policy documentation. Is is recommended that you implement
access controls that follow data instead of operating solely at the system level, and that you implement encryption as well as Content classification and
Content Filtering. The content filtering solution need to be set up so that it recognizes names, medical and financial keywords and phrases.
This regulation applies to the USA.
