Identity Finder Promotes Compliance with HIPAA
Find Protected Health Information (PHI) to Comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
What is PHI?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is federal legislation
that requires the secure storage of protected health information (PHI), also known
as patient health information. PHI refers to any individually identifiable health
information that could be reasonably expected to allow individual identification.
Identifiable in this instance includes explicitly linked data to an individual but
also includes a set of data that could be used to determine the identity of the
owner.
How Identity Finder finds PHI
Identity Finder’s proprietary AnyFind technology allows institutions to find
- Credit Card Numbers
- Bank Account Numbers
- Social Security Numbers
- Passwords
- and Dates of Birth
How Identity Finder Secures PHI
Identity Finder finds PHI and helps you minimize the chances of a data breach by:
- Securely shredding unnecessary data using the DOD’s 3 pass wipe
- Scrubbing (i.e. redacting) the sensitive data and replacing each character with ‘X’s
- Encrypting insecure files with a password
- and Quarantining files to a secure location
How Identity Finder simplifies PHI incident response
1. Search backups to discover any potentially exposed PHI leaked during the data
breach.
2. Take the appropriate action based on what Identity Finder finds.
