Against HIPAA Violations
Featured on socalTECH - Benjamin Kuo - March 31, 2014 - Santa
Monica-based TigerText, which develops secure, text-messaging tools for
enterprise customers–and in particular, the healthcare industry–is
putting its money where its mouth is, saying Monday that it will offer
up a $1 million indemnification against violations from HIPAA’s
technical safeguards for protected health information. The company said
the guarantee covers that violations of HIPAA that may arise from
sending and receiving confidential and protected health information via
the TigerText app. TigerText’s app is offered up to healthcare providers
specifically to help them comply with HIPAA regulations around keeping
health information confidential and safe, as an alternative to unsecured
text messaging. The company also has been pushing its product into the
more general, enterprise markets, many of which have similar, privacy
and security issues over its employees using unsecure text messaging. |
