WhiteCanyon Software Achieves HIPAA Compliance With Compliancy Group

AMERICAN FORK, Utah, July 30, 2018 (Newswire.com) - WhiteCanyon Software is pleased to announce that it has achieved compliance with the federally mandated standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) through the use of Compliancy Group's proprietary HIPAA methodology, The Guard® compliance tracking software and HIPAA Seal of Compliance®.

HIPAA is made up of a set of regulatory standards governing the security, privacy and integrity of sensitive health care data, called protected health information (PHI). PHI is any demographic health care-related information that can be used to identify a patient. If vendors who service health care clients come into contact with PHI in any way, those vendors must be HIPAA compliant.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for privacy, security and administrative requirements for handling sensitive data. WipeDrive is the world leader in secure data erasure - certified to meet all requirements of HIPAA in one simple tool to ensure your data is never at risk when computer or mobile hardware is retired or recycled. WipeDrive is trusted by more hospitals, more universities, more HMOs than any other erasure tool and we're proud to play our part in keeping patient data secure.
