What is GDPR compliance?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a privacy and security law that sets guidelines for how all companies collect and process personal data from individuals located in the European Union. GDPR compliance ensures we have implemented the necessary technical and organizational measures to meet the regulation's requirements around proper disclosure, data protection rights of individuals, security controls, breach notifications and more.
What is HIPAA compliance?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. HIPAA compliance confirms that we have the necessary policies and procedures in place to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of protected health information. This includes implementing safeguards around access controls, encryption, auditing and other technical and physical security measures. Meeting HIPAA standards is particularly important as it protects sensitive patient health data and helps ensure we are properly handling any electronic health records or medical information entrusted to us.
