What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that created national standards to protect sensitive patient health information. The specific measures required are detailed in the HIPAA security rule which states that covered entities must put controls into place to identify and protect PHI.

Why you need cloud-native DLP for HIPAA

Data protection is required to stay HIPAA compliant. This means organizations must ensure that all communications protect PHI (Security and Privacy Rules) and DLP helps achieve this by providing:

Administrative safeguards through end-user security awareness and training that is highly contextualized for HIPAA data sharing. In addition, Nightfall supports the Audit Control standard by maintaining logging of the creation or dissemination of PHI records.

Technical safeguards by detecting and preventing cleartext PI / PHI from leaving the environment, as well as automated corrective actions that lock down sharing or disallow download and print of PHI by covered entities.

Pain-free audit readiness and compliance reporting

Scan and assess the risk across all your cloud applications to ensure you stay HIPAA compliant and avoid potential fines or data breaches.

Galileo Health maintains HIPAA compliance

Galileo Health has an ambitious mission: to improve the quality and affordability of healthcare for all. Leveraging a digital platform and a unique, multi-disciplinary care management system, Galileo provides an effective, scalable solution for delivering medical care to complex and underserved populations.

Challenge

Stringent HIPAA laws require that companies working with personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) keep that data secure.

As a healthcare technology company, Galileo must ensure its GitHub and Slack environments are clear of PHI or any data that can cause a security leak, like secrets and credentials.

Solution

Nightfall provides Galileo a single pane of glass for monitoring and remediating data exposure risk of sensitive information in Slack and GitHub, all in one place.
