HealthGuard Ups the Ante on HIPAA Compliance
\nJames D. Brown, CTO, StillSecure<\/p>\n
HealthGuard, a health information security and risk management services provider, announced last week the addition of StillSecure\u2019s HIPAA Essential\u00ae compliance offering to their repertoire. HIPAA Essential is a combination of seven security services provided by StillSecure, fully managed by our 24×7 Security Operations Centers, and verified as being HIPAA-compliant by well-known compliance auditor, Coalfire Systems. Because HIPAA Essential has been verified compliant, with evidence ready to hand off to an auditor, HealthGuard\u2019s customers can benefit from reduced auditing costs because their auditor can accept the controls put in place by the service.<\/p>\n
In addition to raw compliance, HealthGuard\u2019s customers benefit from real-time, proactive, perimeter security, saving them from deploying and managing seven best-practices point solutions themselves. With HIPAA Essential, customers can ensure that all their communications in and out of their Electronically Protected Health Information (ePHI) environment are fully encrypted (VPN), and protected by multi-factor authentication, that only authorized traffic is allowed in or out (firewall), that malicious traffic is monitored and blocked (IDPS and WAF), that evidence of tampering on their systems is monitored (File Integrity Monitoring), that all logs are captured and analyzed (Security Event Log Management), and that they\u2019re aware of vulnerabilities on their servers (Vulnerability Scanning).<\/p>\n
With multiple layers of protection, and the peace of mind of a fully audited solution, HealthGuard customers will be well protected from both a legal standpoint, as well as from direct threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
