HIPAA Compliance

Ensure HIPAA Compliance

The U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that was enacted to allow portability of health insurance between jobs. It also requires hospitals, physicians and managed care companies to adopt medical information security, privacy, and data protection standards. The law attempts to reduce the costs and administration burdens to healthcare by making possible the standardized, electronic transmission of many administrative and financial transactions.

Because the increase automation could potentially impact patients' rights to privacy, the U.S. Congress included a privacy rule in HIPAA obligating healthcare organizations to protect patience information. HIPAA also dictates that regulated organizations ensure the confidentiality of all electronically protected health information against information infringement.

With PROXY Pro 7 remote desktop software, network professionals can easily comply with HIPAA regulation because PROXY Pro 7 enforces a centralized security policy providing safeguards for remote PC access, PC remote control, data protection, authentication, access control, audit logs, person or entity authorization, and transmission security.

From Our Customers

"Proxy allows me to connect with my users and solve their problems immediately, instead of travelling to their location which eats up valuable time. It also lets me provide training remotely for new and existing customers. I am able to perform maintenance afterhours without user interaction at all our remote locations. I am satisfied enough so that I have recommended the product to several other companies which are now Proxy users."

"Watson Realty Corp has offices located throughout North and Central Florida and South Georgia with over 1100 workstations and 1600 agents. With Proxy Pro, we can give immediate software and hardware support. Proxy Pro has proven to be a essential tool and our investment has been returned several times over by reducing the amount of time that I have to send technicians onsite."
