Compliance Information
HIPAA: Complying with HIPAA policies
The Security Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) mandates that health care institutions implement appropriate information security policies and procedures to protect ePHI (electronic Protected Health Information) from "reasonably anticipated threats and hazards". Penetration testing with CORE IMPACT helps to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of patient information, while enabling you to abide by HIPAA security standards.
