HIPAA IT Compliance Automation
HIPAA regulations require that providers who implement and manage electronic Personal Health Information (ePHI) systems must follow federally mandated safeguards to protect confidential data. Our HIPAA continuous compliance monitoring solutions ensure organizations meet and exceed these regulations.
The Act was written to prevent health care fraud and abuse by regulating the security and privacy of electronically stored patient information. It mandates that IT organizations establish access control, audit control, and change monitoring processes to protect patient information.
SignaCert has over ten years experience in simplifying healthcare organizations’ process of HIPAA IT audit certification. We equip provider IT staff with continuous compliance monitoring software solutions that are easy to implement and maintain, broad in application and deep in coverage.
Intelligent in design, our automated solutions reduce the manpower and cost requisite to achieve and maintain ongoing HIPAA compliance.
SignaCert solutions automate the ability to prove HIPAA compliance by actively assessing the state of IT systems against standard references, dramatically reducing the cost of audits while providing a more predictable and stable IT environment.
SignaCert solutions prove HIPAA compliance by:
Assessing the state of systems against HIPAA standard references
Detecting and alerting when unauthorized changes are made to monitored systems
Generating reports that demonstrate historical HIPAA compliance
