HIPAA Compliancy

iSafeguard™ can help your organization meet HIPAA security and privacy regulations. It protects you from the liabilities associated with unprotected file storage and e-mail communication.

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. It includes regulations that require all individually identifiable health care information be protected to ensure privacy and confidentiality when electronically stored, maintained, or transmitted.

The privacy rules cover paper and oral communications as well as electronic health information. The security regulations cover not only privacy but also the integrity and availability of information. They are designed to ensure that health care data is protected, preserved and backed up in case of a system failure.

iSafeguard™ helps to achieve HIPAA compliancy

iSafeguard™ can help you achieve HIPPA compliancy. It exceeds the HIPAA encryption requirements (112-bit symmetric encryption and 1024-bit asymmetric encryption), is very easy to use and affordable.

In addition there is a freeware version available for personal use; that means each individual patient can communicate with his or her doctors or health care organizations securely without paying anything.
