The healthcare industry has its very own set of information security challenges. Ciphent has helped multiple healthcare corporations save time and money by automating healthchecks and compliance reporting for their large number of separate IT systems. Healthcare providers tend to have multiple hospitals spread out across the country, each of these hospitals has a separate IT system and all of which contain sensitive patient data.
To minimize down-time and help doctors have unfettered access to patient histories and medical records, Ciphent has developed solutions to maximize the security posture of the information system without compromising its functionality.
The HIPAA (Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a compliance regulation that hospitals and healthcare providers are required to abide by. HIPAA has many provisions that require information security controls, assessments and analysis to be conducted.
