HIPAA Compliant Email Eases Stress

If you send sensitive patient data through email, you need to use encryption.  Failure to do so can result in large fines and criminal penalties.  Fortunately, it's never been easier than it is right now to implement HIPAA compliant email.  Let's take a look at the role of encryption first and find out why it's so important.

By default, email is sent in a plain-text format, which is inherently insecure.  Anyone with a simple text editor (everyone has at least one on their desktop) can open the email and read its contents. This is a very bad thing for information that is supposed to remain private. Emails are stored in the same format they're sent in so tons of email servers could save a plain-text version of your email correspondence! This is way too big of a risk for competent organizations to take.
