Ease Compliance and Reduce HIPAA/HITECH Audit-failure Risk with SecureAuth IdP

Your team is no doubt well familiar with HIPAA/HITECH requirements regarding the transmission of health-related information. It must:

• Include adequate encryption, authentication or identification of communication partners
• Incorporate an effective password/key management system
• Perform authentication over the internet using at least two factors: something you are; something you know; or something you have.

The HIPAA Security Rule requirements have most recently been expanded via the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, which establishes mandatory federal security breach reporting requirements with expanded criminal and civil penalties for non-compliance. To remain HIPAA compliant, and avoid fines for health non- compliance, strict control over access to patient records must be demonstrated.

Fortunately, SecureAuth IdP makes meeting these requirements a surprisingly simple matter.
