Managed Data Security

HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA security established a rule for national standards to protect electronic personal health information (ePHI) by covered entities and their business associates. The security safeguards were put forth to ensure the confidentiality and security of ePHI.

YOU ARE OPEN TO COMPLIANCE VIOLATIONS IF:

• You send emails to patients WITHOUT utilizing encryption software.
• You’re still using software which is no longer supported by Microsoft with security patches (such as Windows XP, Windows 7, or Server 2008).
• Your computer and server are NOT encrypted.
• Your systems administration does not have proper HIPAA policies and procedures documented.
• You are not using a secure firewall.
• You are not using antivirus software.
• You do not have BAAs in place with your business associates.

Also required is a signed Business Associate Agreement with your IT vendor. This HIPAA-compliant document establishes parameters for use of ePHI by clearly defining the business associate’s role in working with healthcare data. It sets forth limitations such as prohibiting the third-party from any forms of use or disclosure not stated in the agreement. It also outlines security requirements to guard against any unauthorized use or disclosure.

Managed DNS Protection

Today’s businesses need secure, private, manageable and visible control over internet traffic.

The current domain name system (DNS) simply resolves internet requests through a global system of servers, then translates those requests into their unique Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. But this vital service was not designed with security in mind and many DNS exploits and vulnerabilities now exist.

Data Fast Solutions partners with Webroot® DNS Protection for businesses to control their networks and maintain the security, privacy and visibility they need to protect their IT infrastructure and users, even those working remotely.
