Compliance with HIPAA's Security Rule
Mandatory Compliance Date: April 21, 2005.
How CompuFirm Remote Data Backups helps you comply:
- HIPAA Security Rules require medical providers to have a written contingency plan for responding to system emergencies when dealing with sensitive patient information. A data backup plan is required as part of the contingency plan, which our service can provide! The plan will ensure your data is securely and reliably backed up on a routine basis and that your backed up data will be readily available in the event you have a system failure or other form of data loss.
- Using CompuFirm RDB helps reduce your Security "Media Control" risks by eliminating insecure methods of data handling that result from traditional disk or tape backup techniques. Most companies who try to sell backup solutions often have access to your patient records, violating provincial and federal laws.
- When you use our data backup services your patient records are securely transmitted to our data centers using encryption and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) authentication, access controls, auditing mechanisms, and event reporting as required by HIPAA's Security Policy.
