Simplify compliance and safeguard sensitive and confidential electronic data
From new legislation to the expansion of existing regulations, including regulations for partners, the health care industry faces enormous challenges to safeguard sensitive and confidential information. Add to this the accelerating trend toward electronic medical records and growing fines for data loss incidents. How can organizations meet these requirements and provide the best service to their customers? Websense® Data Security Suite greatly simplifies the task of identifying and securing sensitive data, helping to ensure that it does not reach unauthorized parties, and generating reports to help prove compliance.

Trying to identify sensitive data in the health care industry using regular expressions or rudimentary comparison techniques is futile. Hard-to-recognize data such as medical terms, patient names, and their Social Security or other identification numbers can easily overwhelm simple data security solutions. Using these solutions may also lower your quality of service to customers due to overly restrictive policies or violate regulations due to ineffective policies. Websense Data Security Suite provides specific tools to accurately identify personal health information (PHI) enabling you to take appropriate steps to safeguard confidential data.
Simplify regulatory compliance. show/hide >
Every health care organization is familiar with regulations such as HIPAA and HITECH. What's not clear is how to set up a data loss prevention solution that ensures your organization meets these requirements. You can spend hours reading and understanding the specific requirements hoping to craft security policies that address them. Websense has a simpler solution: our Data Security Suite provides built-in policy templates for the health care industry, including associated regulations. You can easily craft and even customize your data security policies without the need to start from scratch. For example, you can encrypt a patient's records enabling transmittal instead of blocking them, which meets HITECH requirements, all while improving patient service.
Help prove compliance with the click of a mouse. show/hide >
Even a data security solution that can accurately identify sensitive data and automatically apply the necessary remediation may not be the best solution for your regulatory compliance needs. Health care organizations must also be able to prove compliance with robust reporting and management capabilities. Data Security Suite offers simple management and reporting capabilities. With the click of a mouse, you will always have access to the state of your network thanks to a built-in dashboard and pre-defined reports.
The ability to generate extensive forensic reports also helps you investigate possible regulatory violations and prevent them from recurring. Other features such as role-based administration ensure that the analysis of incidents does not expose your organization to further regulatory issues.
