Securing Protected Health Information in Motion

Keep patient data safe during transit

Next Steps:

Overview

McAfee helps optimize security architectures with technologies that automatically detect protected health information (PHI) and encrypt email — without requiring any user intervention. McAfee tracks information transmitted outside healthcare providers’ systems and provides the IT control to either block the transmission or simply log the activity for audit by your privacy team. McAfee security solutions enable doctors to care for their patients, communicate with authorized external labs and partners, and remain productive, unhampered by time-consuming security procedures. IT administrators can effectively enforce new policies without retraining users and even limit access to the web and other services to only those that are necessary for business processing.

Key Benefits

  • Keep data private while allowing doctors to focus on care
    Protect patient privacy with automatic encryption of protected health information (PHI) in email. McAfee solutions require no manual intervention from doctors, freeing them to concentrate on treating patients.
  • Prove compliance with HIPAA and HITECH personal information legislation
    Prevent accidental and malicious disclosure of patient information by encrypting and/or blocking the transmission of PHI to unauthorized external parties. Use advanced auditing, logging, and forensics to gain broad visibility over usage and help prove compliance with data privacy regulations. Coverage for multiple common healthcare platforms and even mobile device encryption ensures safe harbor for compliance in the event of a device loss or theft.
  • Safeguard sensitive data across all channels
    Implement integrated protections to control multiple loss paths, without increasing expenses. Count on McAfee to provide strong encryption, authentication, data loss prevention, and policy-driven security controls that regulate data transfer to devices, between applications, across the network, and even outside the network.
  • Enhance efficiency with a centralized management platform
    Save time and money with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform, the centralized security console that enables you to monitor your entire security system at a glance. With the ePO console, you can also set policies, perform audits, and prove compliance with data privacy regulations.
  • Coach users on safe data procedures
    Help doctors, staff, and contractors safeguard data and learn best practices with policies that trigger alerts when users inadvertently jeopardize sensitive information.
