Organizations that fall under the governance of HIPAA regulations should be encrypting any emails that contain sensitive patient information. Failure to do so can result in a data breach, which can further result in fines as well as civil and criminal penalties. There have been a number of high-profiles HIPAA violations in the news recently that illustrate how dangerous such a breach can be. Not only can HIPAA violations be expensive, they also can hurt your corporate reputation severely. If people think you aren’t safeguarding their data, they will likely take their business elsewhere. Luckily, it’s easy to encrypt your emails in a HIPAA compliant manner with a robust technical solution.

Encryption Secures Email Every Time
HIPAA Compliant Email Relieves Stress
Many people don’t realize that email is completely insecure in its default format. All emails are sent, received, and stored in plain-text format. Plain-text files can be read by any editor anywhere. Not only that, but email is always stored in the exact format in which you receive it. For this reason, insecure email remains insecure, yet is stored on multiple servers all over the world. The chance that this email can be read by a third party is immense. When you encrypt emails, this threat is completely eliminated. Only a recipient with a valid encryption key will be able to access and read the content of your encrypted emails.
