HIPAA, enacted in 1996, mandates that companies take extraordinary steps to protect the medical information they collect from patients. The law affects insurers, hospitals, laboratories, doctor's offices and the pharmaceutical industry. The law also applies to employers who keep employee health data for insurance purposes. SAINT® vulnerability assessments provide proactive security for companies that deal with medical information.

A SAINT® network scan can pinpoint vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them to obtain patient information. SAINT® offers companies working to comply with HIPAA regulations these features:

• Detect vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. SAINT's vulnerability assessment will allow administrators to take precautions and bolster network security.
• Find fixes fast. When SAINT® finds vulnerabilities, it leads network administrators to the fastest fixes for them.
• Demonstrate HIPAA network security compliance. SAINT® reports provide customers with excellent records for documenting HIPAA compliance and a historical perspective of a network's security picture.
