Users and Regulators Love What modusCloud Offers
Compliance with policies like HIPAA, HITECH and PHIPA can be cumbersome, even if they protect patients. With protected health information and data, secure communication is crucial – that’s why modusCloud offers ISO 27002-compliant, secure encrypted email for HIPAA compliance and more, along with Archiving, email protection and other solutions that limit liability, fulfill compliance and protect your users and patients.
Healthcare is a top target for Cyber Criminals
The “street price” of medical data is incredibly high. While a stolen credit card typically goes for about $1 between cyber criminals, the value of stolen medical data can exceed $450, with average payout for medical identity fraud hitting $20,000 – 10 times the average payout for regular identity theft. This not only imposes more costs on patients, but also insurers, healthcare providers and more who face liability concerns for not adequately securing protected health information.
As patients shop for healthcare and coverage online and doctors freely email patients, while web portals archive health data electronically, major risks are present amidst this rise in efficiency and access. Compromised email accounts could easily leak highly valuable data to malicious actors, which is why all health organizations need to consider using effective email protection, encrypting email, and securely archiving their communications and records.

Cyber attacks are up 125% since 2010 in the health care sector, led by large data breaches against providers like Anthem and Premera. But smaller and smaller providers are also beginning to disclose more data breaches across North America. In 2014, it was estimated that medical identity theft increased 22%, costing the healthcare industry more than $12 billion in that year alone, gradually compromising smaller organizations in their wake.
modusCloud offers the best email protection, encryption and archiving for growing
health organizations – and the price is far less than the cost of even a single breach. With healthcare organizations
facing fines of $700+ for each health record lost – a violation of HIPAA – providers big and small
can’t afford not to protect themselves before the next attack targets them.
