RE: HIPAA_Compliance

["Robinson, Sonja" <SRobinson () HIPUSA com>]

What are you trying to encrypt and from what points?

i.e. PHI in e-mail - suggest Kryptiq, Sigaba, PGP enterprise solutions
depending on your needs you could also use desktop - ssl file
transfer/gateway decryption
 VPN -works for communications over telecomm lines for business partners,
subsidiaries, etc.

secure ftp - for file transfer

web file repository - ssl file transfer

Your soultion wil ldepend on what you are looking to encrypt, why and the
to/from points.

Hello to All,

In order to provide security solutions for HIPAA compliance, encryption,
though not required, seems to solve several of the problems. Would anyone
have some suggestions for an inexpensive, easy to deploy, convenient to use,
and easy to train staff, encryption solution? Other thoughts?
