JSCAPE has recently begun offering HIPAA FTP Hosting services to its customers.  This service is designed for small to medium sized businesses who must meet HIPAA compliance standards but do not have the budget or IT staff internally needed to implement such as solution.  JSCAPE Secure FTP Hosting takes care of the hardware, software and ensuring that your data is accessed and stored in a HIPAA compliant manner.

        

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) addresses the minimum standards that health care organizations must implement to protect the security, privacy and confidentiality of patient data that is transferred over the Internet. This statement deals primarily with sections 142.308(c) and 142.308(d) of this Act.

HIPAA requires that all patient data that is transmitted over the Internet must be encrypted using industry standard 128-bit encryption algorithms. JSCAPE Secure FTP Server uses these algorithms as well as several other methods to ensure data security.
