Working in the Healthcare Industry Requires Email Encryption
If you are working in the Healthcare Industry, you probably already know how important encrypting your emails is. Email is a very important business communication tool in all organizations. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), has complicated implementation options and government security regulations you must oblige by.
Employees of all health organizations rely on email and can find it challenging at times. Trying to figure out how to use IT correctly to comply, takes away time from caring for your patients. But, by hiring a third-party IT service provider, you can save time and money, while also relying on someone with technical expertise in HIPAA’s implications and requirements for secure email. Instead of relying on office managers and practitioners to manage your IT needs, you can put your trust in the professionals.
HIPAA was created to run the healthcare system more efficiently, accessibly, and securely. There are three main regulations in which apply to the use of email:

Any information breaches will have a significant financial penalty on your organization. HIPAA requires you have multiple layers of encryption:
Emails can contain important patient information such as; birthdates, social security numbers, and health insurance claim numbers, accidentally sending this information to a wrong address can be a big penalty and you must report it to the person(s) affected. When it comes to encrypting emails it can be very challenging at times, but by hiring a trust IT service provider, you can make sure your emails are secure and steer clear of accidental email violations or breaches. They also offer you fixed-monthly payment plans which can save you money in the end in all kinds of ways.
