The Value of Enterprise SSO to HIPAA Compliance
Overview When the U.S. Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, among the law’s many provisions was the establishment of formal regulations designed to protect the confidentiality and security of patient information. Congress set a series of deadlines for healthcare institutions to comply with the new regulations, including an April 2005 deadline for the security requirements. In addition to mandating new policies and procedures, the HIPAA security regulations require mechanisms for controlling access to patient data on healthcare providers’ information technology (IT) systems. With the April 2005 deadline come and gone, IT departments at healthcare facilities are now scrambling to meet the security and access management requirements. This white paper will help you better understand how Enterprise Single Sign-On can help healthcare organizations comply with HIPAA’s security requirements.
