HIPAA Compliance Is Harder Now

HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA compliance used to be something that only affected healthcare and directly-related businesses. But the rules have changed. Did you know that the suppliers you use for certain key services, such as business phone services, must also be HIPAA compliant?

Businesses from senior living providers to medical device makers are affected. If your business handles any protected information, your company is probably responsible for complying to avoid high civil and even criminal penalties.
