Compliance is now the watchword for healthcare entities as cyberthreats continue to increase in number and severity. Cybersecurity company Check Point found that average global weekly cyberattacks in the healthcare sector reached 1,613 in 2023, up 11% from 2022. To safeguard ePHI (electronic protected health information) from these threats, regulatory requirements and standards in force today have elevated data security and privacy to an operational imperative in the healthcare industry.

All of these regulations and standards add up to compliance complexity for healthcare organizations, creating a critical need for mobile messaging solutions designed to reduce that complexity. The solution is NetSfere, a safe, secure mobile messaging and collaboration platform designed to protect data security and ensure regulatory compliance.

Today’s healthcare compliance complexity overload

The Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to protect the security and privacy of patient information. Security is one of the three key rules healthcare organizations must comply with under HIPAA. The HIPAA Security Rule requires appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of ePHI. Healthcare organizations failing to comply with HIPAA regulations face significant fines and legal ramifications.

Many healthcare enterprises today are also accredited by the Joint Commission International(JCI), a non-profit organization working globally to promote rigorous standards of quality and patient safety. JCI standards require organizations to comply with applicable laws and regulations to ensure that the privacy and integrity of protected health information are maintained.

An ever growing landscape of international, national, and state laws regulating the way companies collect, use, and share data are also creating a web of compliance complexity for healthcare organizations today.

Even as regulations and standards continue to evolve and strengthen, maintaining secure, compliant business communication and collaboration doesn’t have to be complex. NetSfere makes compliance easy.
