With thousands of patient records exposed every month in massive healthcare data breaches and penalties for noncompliance reaching millions of dollars, HIPAA compliance is more than a legal requirement. It’s a business imperative that can not only help protect your bottom line—but also protect patient safety and critical infrastructure.
