Secure health technology under the HITECH Act.
The HITECH Act expanded HIPAA enforcement, introduced breach notification requirements and extended obligations to business associates. XaaS Techs helps healthcare organizations reduce breach risk and secure electronic health records.
Breaches are costly and must be reported
Under HITECH, breaches of unsecured protected health information generally must be reported to affected individuals and to the Department of Health and Human Services, and larger breaches can require media notice. Penalties increased significantly.
Encryption is one of the most effective safeguards: properly encrypted data is generally not considered "unsecured" for breach notification purposes. We make encryption, access control and monitoring standard across your environment.
