Salesforce Health Cloudis fabricated to combine

power & securityof cloud with

social and mobile technologies.

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 HIPAAStandards

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

IndividuallyIdentifiable

Health

Information

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services describes

PHI – protected health information of individuals as

IndividuallyIdentifiable

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.
