Understanding HIPAA Compliance for Healthcare Organizations

If your business works in or around the healthcare industry, you’ve likely heard of HIPAA — but what does it really mean for your technology?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires healthcare providers, insurance companies, and even some business associates to protect patient health information. And when it comes to your IT systems, compliance isn’t optional — it’s the law.

What HIPAA Compliance Means for IT

HIPAA compliance isn't just about paperwork — it's also about how your technology handles, stores, and protects sensitive patient data. That includes:

• Encrypting devices and emails
• Limiting access to patient records
• Using secure backups and disaster recovery
• Tracking access logs and system activity
• Keeping software up to date and patched

Failure to comply can result in serious fines, data breaches, and damage to your reputation.
