HIPAA Security Rule Compliance
KLDiscovery has completed an independent audit resulting in a certification of compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which also covers the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH).
HIPAA sets a national standard for the protection of consumers’ Protected Health Information (PHI) and electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) by mandating risk management best practices and physical, administrative, and technical safeguards. The goal of the HIPAA Security Rule is to create security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI, protecting against threats, unpermitted disclosures, and ensuring workforce compliance.
