Industry Leading Healthcare Provider Protects Electronic Health Information

    SAN JOSE, CA, April 09, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Zafesoft, the leading content security provider, announced today that a large academic healthcare institution in the San Francisco Bay Area is piloting the Zafesoft security solution to protect information shared between the medical center's information security and privacy groups. The solution provides persistent, track-able, and transparent security that enables secure healthcare collaboration.

"Doctors and other healthcare professionals share sensitive information when they collaborate to improve the quality and efficiency of medical care in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and that data needs to be secured and protected," said Sandeep Tiwari, co-founder and CEO of Zafesoft.

Zafesoft delivers a granular and dynamic level of security that protects original content at the character level. Once content is Zafed, it is always protected, no matter how it is altered or shared, wherever it travels - within or outside of corporate firewalls.

Healthcare providers are legally required to comply with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) rules to protect the privacy of individuals and safeguard electronic protected health information to avoid possible regulatory infractions. Zafesoft addresses the access control, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission technical safeguards identified in the HIPPA Security Rule.
