HIPAA Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the national standard for protecting sensitive patient data in the United States.
If your organization stores, processes, or transmits Protected Health Information (PHI) — you are legally required to comply with HIPAA.
At ESKA Security, we help healthcare providers achieve and maintain full HIPAA compliance through a combination of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards — tailored to your organization’s infrastructure and risk profile.
