Let us first see what
is HIPAA’s story and
then move forward
to
How Salesforce
Health Cloud meet
HIPAA guidelines!

During the 90’s, the government of United States decided to bring up
new norms and regulations…..
…...because the intervention
of Information Technology was extensive.

This gave rise to HIPAA which is
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.

The act of HIPAA was formulated in 1996 by
the United States Congress under the
leadership of President Bill Clinton.
Follow along for a few listings of HIPAA:

Meeting HIPAA
Standards

The cost benefits and operational efficiencies
which are achieved by using cloud services
like Salesforce.com are simply too important to ignore.

Although Salesforce’s own security measures are scalable and robust, still HIPAA
compliance is an ultimate mandate for your organisation; of course by following best practices.
Let us see how Salesforce is meeting HIPAA compliance standards and streamlining processes.

1.
Privacy, Integrity, and
Availability

Individually
Identifiable
Health
Information
The U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services describes
PHI – protected health information of individuals
as

Individually
Identifiable
Health
Information
+
Availability
HIPAA regulations aim at offering complete
protection, privacy, integrity, and availability of such
information.

Well, when it comes Salesforce.com meeting HIPAA compliance,
just do not bother about electronic versions of data which is ePHI.
Which is why,
the first step will be to examine the data you send to Salesforce and identify
every field which contains or might contain ePHI.

2.
Data Monitoring, Controlling &
Implementing Access Controls

Protect your ePHI by crafting strict access control policy
which limits the access of data to employees and apps
which needs them truly.
Take steps to minimise
the chance of
unauthorised access.

CipherCloud’s “Cloud Information Protection” platform
offers DLP modules which can identify
HIPAA/HITECH violations henceforth protecting data.

3.
Encryption and Tokenization

CipherCloud offers full control over the
decryption of your data.
Even if the data is leaked, no one will be able to
read it or access it without your participation.
CipherCloud’s cloud information protection platform is a
great selection of encryption and tokenization options.
Encryption is a standard approach to ePHI protection
and key to Salesforce.com HIPAA compliance.

4.
