Secure ePHI Everywhere with Check Point SASE Secure ePHI Everywhere with Check Point SASE Healthcare organizations must protect electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) across cloud applications, hospital networks, outpatient clinics, and remote care environments. Check Point SASE delivers unified Zero Trust security that safeguards patient data while aligning with HIPAA technical safeguards Healthcare organizations must protect electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) across cloud applications, hospital networks, outpatient clinics, and remote care environments. Check Point SASE delivers unified Zero Trust security that safeguards patient data while aligning with HIPAA technical safeguards Book a Demo Start Now Why Modern Healthcare NeedsSASE for HIPAA Compliance HIPAA requires healthcare organizations to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI. A Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture unifies networking and security, enabling identity-based protection across cloud, remote users, and clinical environments. End-to-End Encryption for ePHICheck Point SASE enforces strong encryption across all user-to-application connections – whether across public internet, partner connections, or branch clinics. This ensures ePHI remains protected from interception or unauthorized disclosure. Zero Trust Secure Access for Healthcare TeamsTelemedicine, remote clinicians, billing staff, and third-party vendors require secure access without expanding risk. Check Point SASE applies Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), granting application-specific access based on identity, device posture, and contextual risk – minimizing attack surface. Book a Demo Start Now How Check Point SASE SupportsHIPAA Technical Safeguards HIPAA requirements for covered entities include and are limited to the security concepts of access controls (centrally-controlled unique credentials for each user and procedures to govern the release or disclosure of ePHI), integrity controls (policies and procedures to ensure that ePHI is not improperly altered or destroyed), audit controls (hardware, software, and/or procedural mechanisms to record and examine access and other ePHI-adjacent activity), and finally, network security (encryption, firewalling, etc.). What Information Does the Privacy Rule Protect? The HIPAA Privacy Rules cover protected healthcare information (PHI), which is data about medical subjects. Anything that is “individually identifiable” health information that is held or transmitted by a covered entity or business associate in any form – electronic, paper, or otherwise. It even covers verbal transmission of data! Relevant subject matter includes your past, present or future medical condition, the provision of healthcare to you and details therein, and payment for that healthcare (which is typically information that hackers value). What is the HIPAA Omnibus Rule? The purpose of the HIPAA Omnibus Rule, which was a final addition to HIPAA as a part of the 2009 HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act, was to accomplish four primary goals. The first is to strengthen the privacy and security protection for individuals’ healthcare data. The second modified and improved the Breach Notification Rule for when breaches are detected. The third modified and strengthened HIPAA rules for genetic information and to protect against genetic discrimination; and the fourth was an administrative upgrade designed to make the compliance process more streamlined and transparent.
